A Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point installation includes mounting the access point,
connecting the access point to the network, connecting antennae and applying power. Installation
procedures vary for different environments. See the following sections for more details:
CAUTION
Brocade recommends conducting a radio site survey prior to installing an access point. A site
survey is an excellent method of documenting areas of radio interference and providing a tool for
device placement.
