OmniAccess AP60/61: Installation Guide
Using the Optional Mounting Kits
Use the optional mounting kit to attach the OmniAccess AP60/61 to a wall,
shelf, or ceiling. For installation, see the OmniAccess AP60/61 Mounting Kit
Installation Notes (P/N 031641-00) provided with each kit.
Connecting Required Cables
The OmniAccess AP60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas
are intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af.
All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building,
including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections.
Selecting an FE Cable
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is used to connect the AP to a
10Base-T/100Base-TX (twisted-pair) Ethernet LAN segment. The appropriate
FE cable depends on the features required of the FE port:
SPOE
When connecting the AP to a device that supports Serial and Power Over
Ethernet (SPOE), use an 8-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE
cable.
The OmniAccess AP6000 (with Line Card OAW-LC-2G-24FP), the OmniAccess
4324, the OmniAccess 4304, and the OmniAccess 4308 support SPOE.
POE
If the connecting device supports only Power Over Ethernet (POE), use a 4- or
8-conductor, Category 5 UTP , straight-through FE cable.
Network Only
If the connecting device does not support POE, use a 4- or 8-conductor,
Category 5 UTP , FE cable. The port detects MDI/MDX and automatically adjusts
for straight-through or crossover cables.
The maximum length for FE cables is 100 meters (325 feet).
When the OmniAccess AP60/61 is installed in an air-handling space, such as
above suspended ceilings, as described in National Electrical Code (2002)
Article 300.22(C), and Canadian Electrical Code, Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and
12-100, Part 1, CSA C22.1, POE is required. Also, any FE cable installed in
such spaces should be suitable under NEC Article 800.50 and marked
accordingly for use in plenums and air-handling spaces with regard to smoke
propagation, such as CL2-P , CL3-P , MPP , or CMP .
