Note: Make sure the cables are routed away from the OmniAccess AP antennas.
Note: When the OmniAccess AP is powered up and is associated with an Alcatel OmniAccess
Wireless Switch or Appliance (Green/Power and Yellow/802.11b/g and/or Yellow or Amber/
802.11a LEDs lit), the OmniAccess AP begins broadcasting its beacon signal(s). When this
happens, complete the installation as quickly as possible to remove yourself from within
8 inches (20 cm) of the OmniAccess AP to comply with FCC RF radiation exposure guidelines.
You have installed the OmniAccess AP. Repeat Step 4: Mounting the OmniAccess APs for each Omni-
Access AP location, and then continue with Step 5: Returning MAC Information

Flush Wall MountFlush Wall Mount
When you are mounting the OmniAccess AP against a wall (flat side toward the inside of the building),
use an optional separately-orderable flush-mount bracket.
• Before proceeding, gently screw the two factory-supplied screws and spring washers into the
bottom of the OmniAccess AP. Make sure the spring washers have their convex (high center
sections) pointing toward the screw heads.
Note: The OmniAccess AP threaded holes have precision-depth threads. Do not overtighten
the screws, or the bracket will not fit under the screw heads.

• Copy the MAC address(es) from the label(s) on the OmniAccess AP onto the corresponding
location on the map. MAC addresses have the format 000B85xxxxxx.
• You have already attached the flush-mount bracket to the wall in Step 3: Preparing Mounting
Locations.
• Slide the screws into the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket as shown in the following
figure.
Note: Make sure the side of the OmniAccess AP with the door is facing away from the wall.
This ensures that the correct antenna is facing the building, and makes future upgrades
easier.
Note: If the screws do not securely hold the bracket, remove the OmniAccess AP and adjust
the screws until they securely hold the bracket.
