Mounting and Orientation of APs

Mounting and Orientation of APs

ZoneFlex APs are very tolerant to a variety of mounting and orientation options due to Ruckus
Wireless' use of its unique BeamFlex technology, in which the RF signal is dynamically
concentrated and focused towards the other end of the RF link.
The bottom line regarding orientation and placement is that during the planning phase, it is
advisable to use the Signal Quality as your benchmark, as explained in the Signal Quality
Verification section. Ensure that the Signal is better than 25% for trouble-free operation.
For additional mounting details, please also consult the Quick Setup Guide and the Wall and
Ceiling Mounting Instructions that came in the AP box.

Indoor APs - Typical Case: Horizontal Orientation

ZoneFlex indoor APs are typically oriented such that the top of the AP is pointing either straight
up or straight down.
