Page 21: Determining The Antenna Locations
Directional and omni‐directional antennas are often installed on rooftops. The directional antenna can also be installed on the side of a building. The following sections describe the factors that affect the range of these antennas. Outdoor Distances with Cables Table 1‐3 on page 1‐4 lists the outdoor distances for AP3620 and AP3640. Table 1‐4 on page 1‐5 lists the outdoor distances for AP2620. Table 1‐5 on page 1‐6 lists the outdoor distances for AP3660. Table 1‐6 on page 1‐9 lists the outdoor distances for AP3765e and AP3767e. • All calculations account for outdoor RF links between two APs configured with the same antenna and cabling on both ends. • The transmit power used for each antenna is the minimum allowed power for that antenna in the frequency band (country is US). • The distance between the APs is calculated based on the free space Line of Sight and include the Fade margin. A Fade margin of 10 dB is used to account for different environmental conditions. • The throughput for the AP2620 is estimated as theoretical throughput with unidirectional traffic, no retries, and a 15% packet error rate (PER). IdentiFi Wireless External Antenna Site Preparation and Installation 1-3...

Determining the Antenna Locations • The throughput for the AP3620, AP3640, and AP3660 is estimated as theoretical throughput with A‐MPDU aggregated, unidirectional traffic, no retries, and a 15% packet error rate (PER). Notes: The distances listed in Table 1-3, Table 1-4, Table 1-5, and Table 1-6 are approximate and are not meant to replace a general RF survey tool. Use this information only as a guideline for the maximum distances between APs and throughput on point-to-point links.

Page 31: Additional Location Requirements
Potential Obstacles to Line of Sight (not to scale) Additional Location Requirements This section describes other requirements to meet before installing the outdoor antennas. • Lightning Protection A lightning rod must be placed close to the antenna mast or wall bracket. This is required to protect the antenna from direct lightning strikes. • Grounding System Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the lightning protector is necessary to protect the installation from lightning and the build‐up of static electricity. The wireless device and the lightning protector must be connected to the same earth ground using separate grounds. The antenna and the mounting structure require separate grounds to the same earth ground, using an equipotential bonding conductor. Check with a certified antenna installer, or local electrician, to make sure the antenna is properly grounded. Ensure that the cable between the antenna and lightning protector is at least 0.9 meters (3 feet) away from high‐voltage or high‐current cable. For more information about the lightning protector, see “Grounding System” on page 3‐3. • Antenna Height If you are mounting the antenna on a roof, the antenna must have minimum clearance as specified in Table 1‐7 on page 1‐11 and Table 1‐8 on page 1‐12. IdentiFi Wireless External Antenna Site Preparation and Installation 1-13...
Page 32: Antenna Models
Antenna Models If you are mounting the directional antenna to a wall of a building, it must be high enough to achieve a clear line of sight. Mounting an omni‐directional antenna to the side of a building can cause signal reflection and reduce distance. Note: The installer is responsible for local building codes. • AP Placement The AP should be located indoors, and connected to the outdoor antenna using the shortest cable possible to reduce the loss of the cable. Antenna Models Table 1‐9 on page 1‐15 lists and provides a brief description of the antenna models offered by Extreme Networks for use with IdentiFi Wireless APs.

Page 41: Determining The Location Of The Ap
• The location must be indoors to protect the AP from extreme weather conditions, excessive heat and humidity, and to keep the unit free from vibration and dust. Note: This requirement does not apply to the AP3660, AP3765, AP3767e, and AP3865 which are outdoor access points. • The lightning protector and antenna mast must be connected to the same earth ground (using separate grounds) as the AC wall outlet ground using an equipotential bonding conductor. • The location must provide a connection to the network backbone via an Ethernet LAN cable going to a hub, bridge, or directly into a patch panel. An AP in a WDS does not require an Ethernet connection since backhaul is established over the wireless medium. • The location must be close to where the low‐loss antenna cable will enter the building.

Refer Table 1-9 on page 1-15 to determine if your access point supports the specified antenna.
Page 55: Grounding System
Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the lightning protector is necessary to protect the installation from lightning and the build‐up of static electricity. Caution: The antenna mast, IdentiFi Wireless AP, and lightning protector must be connected to the same earth ground (with separate grounds), using an equipotential bonding conductor. A good electrical connection should be made to one or more ground rods using at least a 6AWG ground wire and non-corrosive hardware.

Page 57: Selecting A Mast
Mounting the Antenna Selecting a Mast Note: You must supply your own mast on which to mount an IdentiFi Wireless antenna. IdentiFi Wireless antennas do not come with masts. To minimize the influence of obstacles, signal interference or reflections, install the antenna at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from all other antennas. If you need to mount multiple antennas on a single mast, alternate the mounting of directional antennas for vertical and horizontal polarization. In subfreezing conditions, the communications link could fail if an antenna is exposed to ice buildup or covered with snow. The mast must satisfy the following requirements: • The mast must be constructed of sturdy, weatherproof, noncorrosive material such as galvanized or stainless steel construction pipe. •...

Mounting the Antenna Mounting Antenna Model WS-AIO-5S17017 The WS‐AIO‐5S17017 is a 5.5 GHz panel antenna that can be mounted indoors or outdoors. Figure 3‐18 shows a WS‐AIO‐5S17017antenna. Figure 3-18 Antenna Model WS-AIO-5S17017 The WS‐AIO‐5S17017 antenna can be mounted indoors or outdoors. For link installations, a line‐ of‐sight path between antennas works best. Although 5.5 GHz signals penetrate cubical dividers and interior partitions with little attenuation, reinforced block walls, banks of metal cabinets, or steel shelving may attenuate signals or cause multipass, a condition where reflected signals interfere with the primary signal. Because antenna beam width is restricted to 15‐degrees to each side of center, the antenna must be aimed accurately during installation to provide optimum gain and best performance. The WS‐AIO‐5S17017 antenna comes with a universal articulating mount that accepts mast sizes up to 2 inches (5.1 cm). This mount, which mounts flat against any vertical surface, is especially designed to provide wide‐range articulation in both the azimuth and elevation planes.

Page 122: Cable Installation Guidelines
Connecting Antenna Cables Cable Installation Guidelines The cable should not be installed into tight positions, as bending or applying excessive force to the connectors may damage the antenna cable. Always allow the cable to bend naturally around corners. The low‐loss antenna cable must be secured along its complete length. Do not allow any part of the cable to hang free. This is particularly important for cable parts that are installed outdoors. The antenna cables and cable connectors are not designed to withstand excessive force: • Do not use connectors as cable grips to pull cable through raceways or conduits. • Do not use cable connectors to support the weight of the cable during or after installation. • Do not use tools to tighten connectors (finger‐tighten only). Connecting the Cables Once the antenna is properly installed, you can connect the antenna to the IdentiFi Wireless AP via the lightning protector. Verify that the low‐loss cable is properly connected to the antenna pigtail. Secure the low‐loss cable to the mast such that the cable connectors do not support the full weight of the cable. Provide a drip‐loop at the bottom of the low‐loss cable just before it enters the building. Connect the opposite end of the low‐loss cable to the lightning protector. Caution: To avoid damage to the antenna cable and connectors, do not use tools to tighten cable connectors.
