All AP832e interconnected equipment, including the associated LAN connection, must be contained
within the same building. In addition, the AP832e location should meet the following conditions:
Relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical

obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs
below a hanging ceiling (plenum is supported) or the wall near the ceiling provides the least
obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP832e horizontally so that you can read
the Meru logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO
performance.
Access to wall outlet or a to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing

the controller.
We recommend planning for about 256 clients per radio (or per interference region) if you plan to

use Virtual Port and plan to have phones as clients. Refer to the Meru Deployment Guides on the
support site for more
AP832e is designed to provide 360 degree omni-directional coverage as illustrated below. Plan place-
ment with this pattern in mind.
