Preinstallation Checks and Installation Guidelines

Before you mount and deploy your access point, we recommend that you perform a site survey (or use the
Site Planning tool) to determine the best location to install your access point.
You should have the following information about your wireless network available:
• Access point locations
• Access point mounting options: To a vertical or horizontal wall or a DIN rail
• Access point power options: Use either of the following options to power the AP:
• Operating temperature : -40° to +140°F (-40° to +60°C) with solar load and still air.
• Extended operating temperature (DC powered): -58° to +167°F (-50° to +75°C) without solar loading,
• Console access using the console port
