1 Introduction CHAPTER The Altitude™ 4522 Access Point, a component of the Extreme Networks® Wireless Mobility System, links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices to the Summit® WM3000 Series Controller, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost effective alternative to standard Access Points. The Altitude 4522 Access Point provides multiple deployment options. The Altitude 4522 Access Point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. An 802.
Chapter 1: Introduction Document Conventions The following graphical alerts are used in this document to indicate notable situations: NOTE Tips, hints, or special requirements that you should take note of. CAUTION Care is required. Disregarding a caution can result in data loss or equipment malfunction. WARNING! Indicates a condition or procedure that could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Site Preparation Site Preparation ● Consult your site survey and network analysis reports to determine specific equipment placement, power drops, and so on. ● Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel. ● Identify and document where all installed components are located. ● Ensure adequate, dust-free ventilation to all installed equipment. ● Identify and prepare Ethernet and console port connections.
Chapter 1: Introduction Features ● 2 RJ-45 connectors, one for 10/100/1000 Ethernet and another for the serial/console connector ● LED indicators ● Slots for wall mounting ● Clips for mounting on a suspended ceiling T-bar (internal antenna model only) with separately orderable accessories ● Lock port for Kensington® style Security Lock The Altitude 4522 Access Point has one RJ-45 connector supporting an 10/100/1000 Ethernet port and accepts 802.3af-compliant power from an external source.
2 Hardware Installation CHAPTER Installation Instructions The Altitude 4522 Access Point mounts either on a wall (with customer supplied M4 x 25 pan head screws and wall anchor - or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. If you are deploying an external antenna model, the Altitude 4522 Access Point on a suspended ceiling T-bar, the Access Point mounting kit (Part No. KT-135628-01) is required. The Altitude 4522 Access Point is not designed for mounting on a desk.
Precautions NOTE In the above part numbers, a country code of “ROW” represents a world wide model, “EU” is for use in the European Union regulatory domain. “US” defines the model as only legally deployable in the United States. 2 Verify that the contents of the box include the intended Altitude 4522 Access Point, and the included hardware matches the package contents (see“Package Contents” on page 8).
Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls, or floors block transmission. Install the Access Point in an open area or add Access Points as needed to improve coverage. Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
