• DO NOT MOUNT Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless Access Point
ANTENNAS WITHIN ONE METER (3 FT.) OF ANY METAL
OBSTRUCTIONS. THE RF WAVES FROM Alcatel OmniAccess
Wireless Access Points ARE BLOCKED AND/OR REFLECTED BY
METAL OBJECTS, such as metal HVAC ducts, conduit, pipes,
bookcases, elevator shafts, stairwells, and metal walls. REFER
TO THE Alcatel OmniAccess Wireless Access Point Deployment
Guide BEFORE MOUNTING OmniAccess APs NEAR METAL
OBSTRUCTIONS.
• WHEN MOUNTING OmniAccess APs IN THE CORNER OF A
RIGHT-ANGLE HALLWAY INTERSECTION, MOUNT THE
OmniAccess AP AT A 45-DEGREE ANGLE TO THE TWO
HALLWAYS. The OmniAccess AP internal antennas are not
omnidirectional, and will cover a larger area if mounted this
way.
