11.4 Operations Deployment Considerations

Before defining the access point's configuration using the Operations menu, refer to the following deployment
guidelines to ensure the configuration is optimally effective:
• If an access point's (or its associated device's) firmware is older than the version on the support site, Motorola
Solutions recommends updating to the latest firmware version for full functionality and utilization.
• An access point must be rebooted to implement a firmware upgrade. Take advantage of the reboot scheduling
mechanisms available to the access point to ensure its continuously available during anticipated periods of heavy
wireless traffic utilization.
• Within a well planned RF Domain, any associated radio should be reachable by at least one other radio. Keep this
in mind when utilizing the Smart RF feature to record signals from neighboring access points. Access point to
access point distance is recorded in terms of signal attenuation.
