Determine The Optimal Mounting Location And Orientation - Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 7982 User Manual

Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and
Orientation
The location and orientation that you choose for the Access Point play a critical role
in the performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends
installing the Access Point away from obstructions and sources of interference and
ensuring that the top of the Access Point is pointing in the general direction of its
wireless clients.
The recommended orientation differs slightly depending on the Access Point model.
See the following sections according to your particular model:
• ZoneFlex 2942 and 7962 Orientation
• ZoneFlex 7341, 7343, 7363, 7321 and 7982 Orientation
ZoneFlex 2942 and 7962 Orientation
The dome-shaped ZoneFlex APs (2942 and 7962) have a wider horizontal plane
coverage area (when mounted on the ceiling or desktop) compared to the other
ZoneFlex APs.
