ATTENTION!
Special Considerations
While Airespace Access Points have been engineered for easy installation, there are some guidelines
that are very important to the end users:
•
PLACE Airespace Access Points NO MORE THAN 140 FEET APART FROM EACH OTHER. Placing
Airespace APs further apart almost always results in poor coverage.
•
DO NOT MOUNT Airespace APs OUTSIDE BUILDINGS.
•
DO NOT MOUNT Airespace APs ON BUILDING PERIMETER WALLS UNLESS THE OPERATOR
WANTS TO PROVIDE COVERAGE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
•
MAKE SURE that plenum-mounted Airespace APs are powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE)
and use only the metal brackets (not the Ceiling-Mount Base or the Hanging-Ceiling Clips) to
comply with safety regulations.
•
MAKE SURE THAT THE Airespace Access Points ARE INSTALLED VERTI-
CALLY. Airespace Access Points ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED
VERTICALLY, either standing up in a plenum or hanging from a ceiling,
to create the largest coverage area per Airespace AP. Hanging the
Airespace AP from the ceiling provides the best RF coverage.
