Hardware Installation

2.1 Installation Instructions

To prepare for the installation:
1. Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the packing list and on the
case of the access point.
2. Verify the contents of the box include the intended AP-6562 access point, and the included hardware
matches the package contents for an internal antenna access point (see
Package Contents on page 6
Package Contents on page 7
3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the
AP-6562 access point.
4. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3at 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 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.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
• Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception (applies to external antenna models only).
• When deploying outdoor mesh networks using a pole mounted installation, install the access point at an
ideal height of 30 to 35 feet from the ground.
To maximize the access point's radio coverage area, conduct a site survey to define and document radio
interference obstacles before installing the access point.
