Preparing a Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Netwo rk s WLAN - Access Port (22 30/223 1) If your Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) has Operating System 2.0 or a later version loaded on it, continue with this procedure. - Page 7 Note that the Red LED can light for a short period (10-20 seconds) when the AP reboots. If the RED LED comes on AND STAYS ON for more than a minute, disconnect the AP and call Nortel Networks Technical Support.
- Page 8 Security Switch (2270) are either on the same subnet or that the AP has a route back to its Primary WLAN Security Switch (2270). Also, if the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) is not on the same subnet as the WLAN Security Switch (2270), make sure there is a DHCP server on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231).
- Page 9 If everything works (the GREEN LED is on and the RED LED is off), reboot the AP and install it as described in this document. If your Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) fails this visual test, refer to RMA Procedures in the Nortel Networks Product Documentation to return your WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231).
- Page 10 Security Switch (2270) are either on the same subnet or that the AP has a route back to its Primary WLAN Security Switch (2270). Also, if the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) is not on the same subnet as the WLAN Security Switch (2270), make sure that a DHCP server is accessible on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231).

Page 11: Step 3: Preparing Mounting Locations
Step 3: Preparing Mounting Locations Step 3: Preparin g Mou ntin g Locations On your map, you should have the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) locations, mounting options, and power options. • Find the required mounting locations. • Use the ceiling-mount base to mark the wall or ceiling locations for sheet metal, drywall, or other screws. Make sure you leave enough space around the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) and base to plug the CAT-5 cable, optional external antenna cable(s), optional power supply cable, and optional Kensington MicroSaver Security Cable into the sides of the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231). - Page 12 • If necessary, drill holes for the various cables where they can be mostly hidden from casual view. When you are mounting the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) using a projection-mount L-bracket (the one with two long legs) the cables can be routed through the 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) holes in the bracket. •...

Note that the Nortel Networks 2200 series supports Antenna Sectorization, which can be used to increase the number of clients and/or client throughput in a given air space. Installers can mount two WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231) back-to-back and the Nortel Networks 2200 series operator can disable the second antenna in both WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231) to create a 360-degree coverage area with two sectors. - Page 14 Ceiling Mount Base When you are mounting the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) in the middle of a ceiling (flat sides toward the room or hallway), use the ceiling-mount base to mount the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) as shown in the...
- Page 15 Note: When the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) is powered up and is associated with an Nortel Networks WLAN - Security Switch (2270) (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/802.11a LEDs lit), the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) is broadcasting its beacon signal(s). When this happens, complete the installation as quickly as possible to remove yourself from within 8 inches (20 cm) of the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) to comply with FCC RF radiation exposure guidelines.
- Page 16 Make sure the cables are routed away from the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) antennas. Note: When the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) is powered up and is associated with an Nortel Networks WLAN - Security Switch (2270) (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/802.11a LEDs lit), the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) is broadcasting its beacon signal(s).
- Page 17 Projection Wall Mount Projection Wall Mount When you are mounting the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) out from a wall (flat sides along the wall or hallway), use an optional factory-orderable projection-mount L-bracket. • Before proceeding, gently screw the two factory-supplied screws and spring washers into the bottom of the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231).
- Page 18 Make sure the cables are routed away from the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) antennas. Note: When the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) is powered up and is associated with an Nortel Networks WLAN - Security Switch (2270) (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/802.11a LEDs lit), the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) begins broadcasting its beacon signal(s).
- Page 19 Flush Wall Mount Flush Wall Mount When you are mounting the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) against a wall (flat side toward the inside of the building), use an optional factory-orderable flush-mount bracket. • Before proceeding, gently screw the two factory-supplied screws and spring washers into the bottom of the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231).
