AP-7131 Access Point: Installation Guide

2.3 AP-7131 Placement

For optimal performance, install the AP-7131 away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent

lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when

metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the AP-7131 in open areas or add access

points as needed to improve coverage.

Place the AP-7131 using the following guidelines:

• Install the AP-7131 at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.

• Orient the AP-7131 antenna vertically for best reception.

• Point the AP-7131 antenna(s) downward if attaching to the ceiling.

Motorola recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles

before installing the AP-7131 to maximize its radio coverage area.
