AP-7131 Access Point: Installation Guide

2.3 AP-7131 Placement

For optimal performance, install the AP-7131 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 AP-7131 in open areas or add access
points as needed to improve coverage.
Place the AP-7131 using the following guidelines:
• Install the AP-7131 at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
• Orient the AP-7131 antennas vertically for best reception.
• Point the AP-7131 antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling.
Motorola recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles
before installing the AP-7131 to maximize its radio coverage area.
