Hardware Installation
• The AP must be protected from exposure, and the environmental conditions must be within those specified in the
product datasheet that can be found at http://www.proxim.com/products/

• Note that the AP-8000 has been certified under UL Standard 2043 and can be installed in the plenum. In an office
building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air circulate.
Many companies also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. These products and cables
must comply with certain safety requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) and Standard 2043: "Standards for Fire
Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Direct Products and Their Accessories installed in Air-Handling Spaces".
NOTE: When installed in a plenum, the AP must use PoE.
