Place the Access Point using the following guidelines:
Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
Orient the Access Point antennas vertically for best reception.
Point the Access Point antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling (external antenna
models only).
To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, Extreme Networks recommends
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before
installing the Access Point.
Antenna Options
Extreme Networks supports various antennas for the single radio, dual-band Altitude 4521
Series Access Point. These antennas support the 2.4 GHz band, the 5 GHz band, or both.
Select an antenna best suited to the intended operational environment of your Access Point.
For example, pictured below are two popular dual-band, omni-directional antennas for
typical indoor coverage (ML-2452-APA2-01 for Black and ML-2452-APAG2A1-02 for White).
