14 Installing the Extricom WLAN System
Determining the Location of the Extricom Access
Points
Before installing the switch and access points, plan the placement of the APs. Before permanently
mounting the APs, it is recommended to test the network (using a laptop client) to identify potential
coverage holes. If such a problem exists, relocate an AP or add additional APs to resolve the
coverage hole.
The APs should be placed in a stable, secure location, such as on top of a closet or bookshelf, or
mounted on a wall.
The switch should be placed near the distribution point of the LAN line. This is usually in the
communications closet of your enterprise.
