Installation Requirements and Recommendations
Chapter 3
Installing and Connecting an MP-422
19
(For information about connecting an MP access point to an MX switch port, see
“Connecting an MP to an MX Switch” on page 50.)
Wall Installation Recommendations
If you plan to install an MP on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient the
top of the access point (the side with the LEDs) toward the intended coverage
area. The radio antennas transmit through the top of the access point but not
through the bottom (where the bracket is).
This recommendation does not apply if you plan to use external antennas. You can
orient the antennas independently of the MP itself. Orient an external antenna to
face the intended coverage area.
MP Radio Safety Advisories
When you enable the MP radio(s) as part of MX switch configuration, the radios
are able to receive and transmit radio frequency energy as soon as you connect the
MP access point(s) to the MX switch, either directly or through the network.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Docket 96-8 for Spread Spectrum
Transmitters specifies a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with the
proper antennas (shipped in the product), Trapeze Networks MP access point
products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and
ANSI C95.1-1991. Proper installation of the MP access point according to the
instructions in this manual will result in user exposure that is below the FCC
recommended limits.
Additional Radio Safety Advisories
(For translations of warnings, see Trapeze Regulatory Information.)
Warning! In the U.S., locate the MP access point and any externally attached
antennas a minimum of 20 cm (7.9 inches) away from people. This safety
warning conforms with FCC radio frequency exposure limits for dipole antennas
such as those used in the MP access point.
