4. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the
cable to the installation site. Ensure there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the
installation steps.
NOTE

2.2 Precautions

Before installing an AP6532 model Access Point, verify the following:
• Motorola Solutions recommends you do not to install the AP6532 in wet or dusty areas.
• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 50° C.

2.3 Access Point Placement

For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors,
fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can
occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the Access Point in an open
area or add Access Points as needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright
enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna
placement in an area (like even placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the Access Point using the following guidelines:
• Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
• Orient the Access Point antennas vertically for best reception.
To maximize the Access Point's radio coverage area, Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a
site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the Access Point.

2.4 Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions

This mounting requires hanging the AP6532 Access Point along its width or length using the two slots
on the bottom of the unit. The AP6532 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface
using the provided wall anchors. The following illustration displays a lengthwise mount.

• Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable
is recommended for Gigabit operation.
