Step 4: Mounting the OmniAccess AP Access Points
Using the supplied or optional separately-orderable OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 mounting kits, mount
each OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 in its indicated location, oriented as shown on the map. Note that
you can mount the OmniAccess AP Access Points in the ceiling plenum or below the ceiling, but the
OmniAccess AP Access Points perform best when mounted below the ceiling.
Note that the Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System supports Antenna Sectorization, which can be used
to increase the number of clients and/or client throughput in a given air space. Installers can mount
two OmniAccess AP Access Points back-to-back and the Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless System operator
can disable the second antenna in both OmniAccess AP Access Points to create a 360-degree coverage
area with two sectors.
The OmniAccess AP Access Points can be mounted in one of the following configurations:
•
Ceiling-Mount Base -- Refer to
•
Ceiling-Mount Clips -- Refer to
•
Projection Wall Mount -- Refer to
•
Flush Wall Mount -- Refer to

Ceiling-Mount Bezel -- Refer to the
Installation Guide.

the room or hallway), use the ceiling-mount base to mount the OmniAccess AP 1200 or 1250 as shown
