Chapter 3: Maintaining the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point

Maintenance Procedure

To ensure that IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point (AP) and Remote
Antenna (RA) continue to operate properly, you should perform the following
maintenance tasks periodically:
• Ventilation - The IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz Core Access Point and RA
cases are vented to provide air circulation and cooling for the devices. Keep the
immediate area around the AP and RA open to allow for natural air circulation
around the devices. Periodically, dust the AP and RA cases to keep their
ventilation holes open.
• Antenna Orientation - Under normal operation the AP or RA antennas may get
bumped by cleaning crews and/or construction crews and causing the
antennas to move from their original position set at installation.
Periodically check the antennas on all of the APs and RAs at the installation site
for correct orientation, alignment, direction, and placement. If necessary,
loosen the collar on the antenna and adjust the antenna for proper placement,
orientation, and direction. Then, re-tighten the antenna collar to secure the
antenna in place. Generally, you should orient the two local antennas on each
Core AP and RA such that they are perpendicular to the floor.

Complete test and inspection procedures for the IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz
Core Access Point are given in Chapter 5 of the IntelliVue Smart-hopping
Infrastructure Installation and Service Guide. You must perform these procedures
when the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Access Point is initially installed and after any
service event.
