Overview
This guide is designed to provide you with the information needed to mount OmniAccess AP Access
Points (OmniAccess AP Access Points) using the optional Ceiling-Mount Bezel Kit. OmniAccess AP
Access Points are part of the innovative Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System (Alcatel OmniAccess
Wireless System), and require no manual configuration after they are mounted.
This document assumes that a site survey has been performed as described in the OmniAccess AP 1200
or 1250 Deployment Guide document, that OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 locations and mounting
options have been selected, and that you have one OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 for each selected
location.
After the site survey is done, you should have a map indicating the following:
•
AP locations.
•
AP mounting options: hanging from a ceiling, in the ceiling plenum, projecting away from the
wall, flat against the wall, or using the Ceiling-Mount Bezel Kit.
•
AP power options: power supplied by the AC-to-DC power supply orderable from the factory, or
Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the Alcatel OmniAccess WLAN Switch, another network device,
or a PoE injector/hub (usually located in a wiring closet).
Note:
MUST BE powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE) to comply with safety
regulations.
When you do not have a map, make one so you can record the MAC addresses from each location and
return them to the person who is planning or managing this wireless network.
