1-10 AP-7131N-FGR Access Point Product Reference Guide

1.2.6 Multiple Mounting Options

The access point attaches to a wall, mounts under a ceiling or above a ceiling (attic). Choose a
mounting option based on the physical environment of the coverage area. Do not mount the access
point in a location that has not been approved in a radio coverage site survey.
For detailed information on the mounting options available , see Mounting an AP-7131N-FGR on page
2-10.

1.2.7 Antenna Support for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Radios

The access point supports several 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n radio antennas. Select the antenna
best suited to the radio transmission requirements of your coverage area.
For an exhaustive overview of the antennas and associated components supported by the Motorola
access point family, refer to the Enterprise Wireless LAN Antenna Specification Guide available at

1.2.8 Sixteen Configurable WLANs

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a data-communications system that flexibly extends the
functionalities of a wired LAN. A WLAN does not require lining up devices for line-of-sight
transmission, and are thus, desirable for wireless networking. Roaming users can be handed off from
one access point to another like a cellular phone system. WLANs can therefore be configured around
the needs of specific groups of users, even when they are not in physical proximity. Sixteen WLANs
are configurable on each access point.
To enable and configure WLANs on an access point radio, see Enabling Wireless LANs (WLANs) on
page 5-29.

1.2.9 Support for 4 BSSIDs per Radio

The access point supports four BSSIDs per radio. Each BSSID has a corresponding MAC address. The
first MAC address corresponds to BSSID #1. The MAC addresses for the other three BSSIDs (BSSIDs
#2, #3, #4) are derived by adding 1, 2, 3, respectively, to the radio MAC address.
If the radio MAC address displayed on the Radio Settings screen is 00:23:68:72:20:DC, then the
BSSIDs for that radio will have the following MAC addresses:
