Installing an AP typically consists of four phases:
1. Configuring the AP at an operator's facility or at the installation site using the information and
settings defined previously in Planning (Section 3) and Configuring (Section 4).
2. Assembling the AP (radio and antenna and brackets) and physically installing it using on the
mounting structure.
3. Cabling the AP to the CMMmicro or CMM4 (for Cyclone OFDM APs), and grounding it to
Protective Earth – PE using Procedure 4. This phase can also include cabling to backhauls, or
running terrestrial feeds.
4. Confirming operation, using SMs in the field.
Local practices and choices of installation options will dictate the actual processes. For example,
variations on these generalized procedures can be used to install on a building or install multiple
APs on a pip
e mount before hoisting up a tower for final attachment.
6 EXPOSURE SEPARATION DISTANCES
To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install Canopy radios so as to provide and maintain the
minimum separation distances from all persons shown in Table 6.
Table 5: Exposure Separation Distances
Module Type Separation Distance from Persons
Cyclone 5700-360.OFDM At least 24 cm (approx. 9.5 in)
Cyclone 5700-VS.OFDM At least 24 cm (approx. 9.5 in)
Canopy Module (for comparison) At least 20 cm (approx. 8 in)
