Precautions
Precautions
Before installing a Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point, verify the following:
•
Brocade recommends not to install the Brocade Mobility 650 in wet or dusty
areas.
•
Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to
50° C.
Access point placement
For optimal performance, install the access point away from transformers,
heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other
industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors
block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as
needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far
away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and
create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a
light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
•
Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
•
Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.
To maximize the access point's radio coverage area, Brocade recommends
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles
before installing the access point.
Integrated antenna model wall mount instructions
This mounting requires hanging the Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point along its
width or length using the two slots on the bottom of the unit. The Brocade Mobility
650 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the
provided wall anchors when necessary. The illustration shows a lengthwise mount.
