Planning and Installing Wireless LANS
Make sure the antennas are extended upward vertically in relation to the floor. For
models with external antennas, connect the external antennas and RF cable.
Keep the units well away from sources of heat, such as radiators and air-
conditioners
5.2.1.1 Site Selection for Access Points
When positioning Access Points, take into account the following additional
considerations.
Install the Access Point at least 1.5m above the floor, clear of any high office
partitions or tall pieces of furniture in the coverage area. The Access Point can be
placed on a high shelf, or can be attached to the ceiling or a wall using a mounting
bracket.
Install the Access Point in a central location in the intended coverage area. Good
positions are:
In the center of a large room.
In the center of a corridor.
At the intersection of two corridors.
Many modern buildings have partitions constructed of metal or containing metal
components. We recommend that you install the Access Points on the corridor
ceilings. The radio waves propagated by the BreezeNET PRO.11 LAN are reflected
along the metal partitions and enter the offices through the doors or glass sections.
