  • Page 20: Networking Information

    NETWORKING INFORMATION The Canopy Access Point module will each use an IP address on the operator’s network. It is recommended that the Access Point modules never be placed directly onto the Internet. IP addresses may be assigned sequentially clockwise around an Access Point cluster for easier manageability.

    The modules can be mounted in a variety of locations, choose the best location for your particular application. Modules do not have to mounted directly next to each other, they can be distributed throughout a given site. Mounting can be done by using stainless steel hose clamps or another equivalent fastener.
