Chapter Hardware Installation 2 Installation instructions A Mobility 1240 Access Point mounts either on a wall (with M4 x 25 pan head screws and wall anchor - or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. Once the Mobility 1240 Access Point is installed with facade and cabled, the cables (Ethernet and module connections) should not be visible when looking directly at the unit (ceiling and wall mounts). To prepare for the installation: 1.
2 Precautions Precautions Before installing a Mobility 1240 Access Point, verify the following: • Your using the correctly rated power solution for the Mobility 1240 Access Point (either 802.3af or 802.3at power over Ethernet or the PWRS-14000-247R external power supply). • Brocade recommends you do not to install the Mobility 1240 Access Point in wet or dusty areas. • Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 50° C.
Power over Ethernet 2 Power over Ethernet A Mobility 1240 Access Point can receive power over Ethernet via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/POE (LAN) port. When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location.
2 Power over Ethernet CAUTION The access point supports any standards-based compliant power source (including non-Brocade power sources). However, using the wrong solution (including a POE system used on a legacy access point) could either limit functionality or severely damage the access point and void the product warranty. wireless LAN 802.3af or 802.
Wall mount instructions 2 CAUTION To avoid problematic performance and restarts, disable POE from a wired switch port connected to an access point if mid-span power sourcing equipment (PSE) is used between the two, regardless of the manufacturer of the switch. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the power over Ethernet and access point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
2 Wall mount instructions Wall mount procedure - new installation This section describes a new Mobility 1240 Access Point installation with no previous access point existing on the intended wall surface. 1. Place the access point against the wall, ensuring the access point’s logo is in the correct orientation. 2. Mark the screw hole locations 152mm (6 in.) apart on the access point’s long axis or 40mm (1.57 in.
Wall mount instructions e. 7. 2 Attach the power supply line cord to a power supply. Attach supported 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz antennas to the connectors. For more information on supported Mobility 1240 Access Point antennas, see “Mobility 1240 Access Point antenna options” on page 20. 8. Verify the access point is receiving power by observing the LEDs are lit or flashing. For more information on Mobility 1240 Access Point LED behavior, see “LED Indicators” on page 23. 9.
2 Suspended ceiling T-Bar mount instructions Suspended ceiling T-Bar mount instructions Ceiling mount requires holding the Mobility 1240 Access Point up against a T-bar of a suspended ceiling grid and twisting the unit on to the T-bar. If deploying the Mobility 1240 Access Point on a sculpted ceiling T-Bar, the access point mounting kit (Part No. KT-135628-01) can optionally be used as well. 1. If required, install and attach a Kensington security cable (customer provided) to the unit’s lock port. 2.
Suspended ceiling T-Bar mount instructions 2 CAUTION If not using power over Ethernet ensure only the Mobility 1240 Access Point’s designated power supply (PWRS-14000-247R) is used to supply power to the access point. Using an incorrectly rated power supply could damage the access point and void the product warranty. Do not actually connect to the power source until the cabling portion of the installation is complete. 5. Verify the unit has power by observing the LEDs.
2 Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount Instructions Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount Instructions An above the ceiling installation requires placing the access point above a suspended ceiling and installing the provided light pipe under the ceiling tile for viewing the rear panel status LEDs of the unit. An above the ceiling installation enables installations compliant with drop ceilings, suspended ceilings and industry standard tiles from .625 to .75 inches thick.
Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount Instructions 2 To install the access point above a ceiling: 1. If possible, remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it, finish side down, on a work surface. 2. If required, install a safety wire, between 1.5mm (.06in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.) in diameter, in the ceiling space. 3. If required, install and attach a security cable to the access point’s lock port. 4. Mark a point on the finished side of the tile where the light pipe is to be located. 5.
2 Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount Instructions 9. Fit the light pipe into hole in the tile from its unfinished side. 10. Slide the badge onto the light pipe from the finished side of the ceiling tile. 11. Attach the antennas to their correct connectors. For more information on supported Mobility 1240 antennas, see “Mobility 1240 Access Point antenna options” on page 20.
Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount Instructions 2 a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the power over Ethernet switch port and the access point’s GE1/POE port. b. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the power over Ethernet and access point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). For standard power adapter (non power over Ethernet) and line cord installations: a.
