Hardware Installation
Altitude 4760 Series Access Point models can be purchased in a two or three radio
configuration (see “Altitude 4760 Series Access Point Hardware” on page 8). Each model
has two band unlocked radios that can operate across the 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, and 5 GHz
bands, subject to country regulatory approval and outdoor/band use.
An Altitude 4760 Series Access Point must be installed by trained professionals familiar
with RF planning and regulatory limits defined by the regulatory bodies of the country
where the devices are being deployed. All common precautions for grounding and
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection should be observed during deployment and
installation. Altitude 4760 Series Access Points must be installed such that no harmful
interference results from device operation.
Access Point Placement
Observe the following recommended guidelines to help ensure a successful network
deployment:
● Identify all pieces of the mounting bracket and mounting extension arm hardware and
ancillary hardware (see “Altitude 4760 Series Access Point Hardware” on page 8 ).
● Mount the device with the black gore vent down.
● Mounting height for network devices should not exceed 30 to 35 feet. Mounting height
should vary to accommodate the topography of the deployment area, foliage, and other
obstructions.
● Devices can be deployed using any of the recommended outdoor deployment
procedures.
● Line of sight (LoS) guidelines should be given special consideration whenever devices
will not be installed in a straight line, such as deploying devices on alternating sides of a
roadway.
