Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
To prepare for an Altitude 4511 Access Point installation, perform the following:
1 Verify the contents of the box includes the intended Altitude 4511 Access Point and
accessory hardware.
2 Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting
position for the Altitude 4511 Access Point.
3 Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a PoE compatible device and run the cable
to the installation site. Ensure there is sufficient cable slack to perform the installation
steps.
Precautions
Before installing an Altitude 4511 Access Point:
Verify the intended Altitude 4511 Access Point deployment location is not prone to
●
moisture or dust.
Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.
●
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.
To maximize the Access Point's radio coverage area, Extreme Networks recommends
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before
installing the Access Point.
Wall Mount Installation
To support wall mount installations, the metal mounting plate (provided with the Altitude
4511 Access Point) is fastened to a flat wall surface. The wall should be of gypsum board,
plaster, wood or concrete in composition.
