Omniaccess Ap 1200 Or 1250 Placement - Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System 2.1 Product Manual

•
Position the OmniAccess AP Access Points vertically near the ceiling in the center of each
coverage area, if possible.
•
Position OmniAccess AP Access Points in locations where users are expected to be. For
example, large rooms are typically a better location for OmniAccess AP Access Points than a
hallway.

OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 Placement

•
Place OmniAccess AP Access Points on the floor plan using the
Constraints and
touching or slightly overlapping as illustrated in the following example.
For instance:
•
The open auditorium (a Warehouse/Manufacturing Building Type) shown in the
or Building Floor Plans
•
As described in the
Telephone requires approximately 6 Mbps 802.11b throughput, resulting in a minimum A =
5,000 square foot coverage area per OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 for an open area.
•
Dividing 20,000 square feet by A = 5,000 square feet per OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 results
in at least four OmniAccess AP Access Points required for the auditorium.
•
Using the guidelines in
foot coverage area results in an R = 50-foot coverage circle radius, or Z = 71-foot coverage
square.
•
On your floor plan map, arrange four 50-foot radius coverage circles so they overlap, as shown
in the following figure.
Note:
mately 10% to 15% to minimize the number of coverage holes.
•
Note the large "X" in the middle of each circular OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 coverage
area--those are the indicated locations of the associated OmniAccess AP Access Points.
