Altitude 4600 Series Access Point Installation Guide
1 Introduction An Altitude™ 4600 Series Access Point links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices to the controller, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective alternative to standard access points. The Altitude 4600 Series Access Point provides two placement options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on the case guide placement of the screws. For placement above a suspended ceiling, a safety wire tie point on the case provides for a loop of safety wire.
Introduction Warnings ● Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment installation before connecting the Altitude 4600 Access Point to its power source. ● Remove jewelry and watches before installing this equipment. ● Verify that the unit is grounded before connecting it to the power source. ● Verify any device connected to this unit is properly wired and grounded. ● Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical circuit.
Package Contents An Altitude 4600 Series Access Point comes in eight hardware configurations, four integrated (internal) antenna models and four external antenna models. The contents of the package differ between the integrated antenna model and the external antenna model. Both single and dual radio models are supported.
Introduction ● One RJ-45 connector ● LED indicators ● Safety wire tie point ● Slots for wall mounting ● Clips for mounting on a suspended ceiling T-bar ● Lock port for Kensington® style Security Lock An Altitude 4600 Series Access Point has one RJ-45 connector supporting an 10/100/ 1000 Ethernet port and requires 802.3af-compliant power from an external source. NOTE When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable is required for Gigabit operation.
2 Hardware Installation Installation Instructions An Altitude 4600 Series Access Point mounts either on a wall with wide-shoulder screws or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. This unit is not designed for mounting on a desk. To prepare for installation, perform the following steps: 1 Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the packing list and on the case of the Altitude 4600 Series Access Point.
Hardware Installation 4 Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the installation steps. NOTE When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable is required for Gigabit operation.
Precautions Before installing an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point, verify the following: ● The intended deployment site is not a wet or dusty area. ● The environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 50° C. Access Point Placement For optimal performance, install the Altitude 4600 Series Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment.
Hardware Installation Wall Mount Hardware The following hardware is required to complete the wall mount of an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point: ● Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws ● Two wall anchors ● Security cable (optional) NOTE In the event the original mounting screws are lost, the following screws can be used: (ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tapping Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping Screw.
1 Orient the unit on the wall by its width or length. 2 Using the arrows on one edge of the case as guides, move the edge to the midline of the mounting area and mark points on the midline for the screws. 3 At each point, drill a hole in the wall, insert an anchor, screw into the anchor the wall mounting screw and stop when there is 1mm between the screw head and the wall. NOTE When pre-drilling a hole the recommended hole size is 2.8mm (0.11in.) if the screws are going directly into the wall and 6mm (0.
Hardware Installation 1 If required, install and attach a security cable to the unit’s lock port. 2 Plug the Ethernet cable into the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af-compatible power source. 3 Face the bottom of the T-bar with the back of the case. 4 Orient the case by its length and the length of the T-bar. 5 Rotate the case in place 45 degrees clockwise, or about 10 o’clock. 6 Push the back of the case onto the bottom of the T-bar. 7 Rotate the case 45 degrees counter-clockwise.
Wall Mount Hardware The following hardware is required to complete the wall mount of an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point (external antenna version): ● Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws ● Two wall anchors ● Safety wire (recommended) and a security cable (optional) NOTE In the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following screws can be used instead: (ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tapping Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.
Hardware Installation Wall Mount Procedure 1 Orient the case on the wall by its width or length. 2 Using the arrows on one edge of the case as guides, move the edge to the midline of the mounting area and mark points on the midline for the screws. 3 At each point, drill a hole in the wall, insert an anchor, screw into the anchor the wall mounting screw and stop when there is 1mm between the screw head and the wall.
NOTE When pre-drilling a hole the recommended hole size is 2.8mm (0.11in.) if the screws are going directly into the wall and 6mm (0.23in.) if the provided wall anchors are being used. 4 If required, loop a safety wire, between 1.5mm (.06in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.) in diameter, around the tie post and secure the loop. 5 If required, install and attach a security cable to the unit’s lock port. 6 Place the large corner of each of the case’s mount slots over the screw heads.
Hardware Installation This placement requires installation of the provided light pipe for viewing the status lights of the unit. Suspended Ceiling Mount Hardware ● Light pipe ● Badge for light pipe ● Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional) Light Pipe Ceiling Tile Badge Ceiling Mount Procedure To mount the Altitude 4600 Series Access Point on a ceiling: 1 If possible, remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it, finished side down, on a work surface.
7 Snap the clips of the light pipe into the bottom of the case. 8 Fit the light pipe into hole in the tile from its unfinished side. 9 Attach any safety wire to the safety wire tie point or security cable to the unit’s lock port. 10 Bring the tile into the ceiling space. 11 Plug the Ethernet cable into the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af-compatible power source. 12 Verify the unit has power by observing the LEDs. 13 Place the ceiling tile back in its frame.
Hardware Installation The LED behavior is determined by the version of software running on the controller which the access point is connected to. The tables below show the LED patterns for software version 4.x and software version5.x. Software Version 4.x LED States Task 5 GHz Activity LED (Amber) 2.
