Installation Guide
4. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the cable to the
installation site. Ensure there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the installation steps.
NOTE

2.2 Precautions

Before installing an AP6532 model Access Point, verify the following:
• Motorola Solutions recommends you do not install the AP6532 in wet or dusty areas.
• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 50° C.

2.3 Access Point Placement

For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights,
microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls
or floors block transmission. Install the Access Point in an open area or add Access Points as needed to improve
coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An
area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even
placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the Access Point using the following guidelines:
• Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
• Orient the Access Point antennas vertically for best reception.
To maximize the Access Point's radio coverage area, Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a site survey to
define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the Access Point.

2.4 Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions

This mounting requires hanging the AP6532 Access Point along its width or length using the two slots on the
bottom of the unit. The AP6532 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the provided
wall anchors. The following illustration displays a lengthwise mount.

2.4.1 Wall Mount Hardware

• Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
• Two wall anchors
• Security cable (optional)
NOTE
When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable
is recommended for Gigabit operation.
In the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following
screws can be used instead: (ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or
AB Self-Tapping Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm
Type D Self-Tapping Screw.
