Note: Because the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point internal antennas have been
designed to reduce inter-floor interference, it is strongly recommended that you mount the
Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point standing or hanging straight up or down.
Note: You can mount the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points in the ceiling plenum or below
the ceiling using the ceiling mount base or wall mount brackets, but the Nortel Networks
WLAN - Access Points perform best when mounted below the ceiling.
Note: Plenum-mounted Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points and Remote Edge Access Points
MUST BE powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE) to comply with safety regulations.
• When you are mounting the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point in the middle of a ceiling,
ceiling plenum, or hallway, you will typically use the color-coordinated ceiling-mount base to
stabilize the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point after it is mounted. Use the mounting base
to mark the sheet metal, drywall, or other screw locations.
