Attaching The Ap150 Antennas; Mounting The Access Point - Meru Networks AP150 Installation Manual

Most installations receive the best coverage using the following guidelines:
Install APs toward the center of the building.
Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or
electric service panels.
Relative to the ground, orient the antenna up or down, not sideways.
Note:
environment. Place access points accordingly.
The AP150 is only intended for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE
802.3af. All interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building,
including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection.

Attaching the AP150 Antennas

The AP150 is provided with external antenna ports. Make sure that all external
antennas and their associated wiring are located entirely indoors. The external
antennas are not suitable for outside use.
If the AP150 does not have external antennas, attach the antennas to the connectors
on the AP150 (see
clockwise to attach the antenna. The ring should be finger-tight.
Caution!
the knurled ring before moving the antenna. Retighten the ring afterward.
Otherwise, you might damage the internal cabling in the AP.

Mounting the Access Point

You can mount an AP150 in the following ways:
Horizontally, as described in the "Horizontal Mounting" section.
Vertically, as described in the "Vertical Mounting with the Mounting Bracket"
section.
Below a hanging ceiling, as described in the "Mounting Below a Suspended
Ceiling" section.
Horizontal Mounting
To horizontally mount an AP150:
1. Place the AP150 flat on the horizontal surface.
2. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see
