Page 10: Determining The Installation Position
Determining the installation position Determine the installation position by observing the following principles: • Few obstacles such as wall exist between the AP and clients. • Reserve clearance around the AP for heat dissipation. Ensure a minimum distance of 2 m (6.56 ft) between the AP and other radiant resources, for example, wireless base station antennas. - Page 11 Figure2-3 Marking the installation holes on the wall Drill two holes with a diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in) and a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in) at the marked locations, as shown in Figure2-4. Figure2-4 Drilling holes in the wall Use a rubber hammer to tap a screw anchor into each hole until it is all flush with the wall surface, as shown in Figure2-5.
