Access Point
Placement
Observe
the following recommended guidelines to help ensure a successful
network deployment:
•
Identify all pieces of the mounting bracket and mounting extension arm hardware and ancillary hardware (see
AP 7161 Hardware on page
7
).
•
Mount the device with the black gore
vent down.
•
Mounting height for network devices should not exceed 30 to 35 feet. Mounting height should vary
to
accommodate the topography of the deployment area, foliage,
and other obstructions.
•
When mounting an access point, keep the antennas away from any
metal obstructions. Utilize the extension
arm (KT-150173-01)
if
neccesary.
•
Line of Sight (LoS)
guidelines should be given special consideration whenever devices will not be installed in a
straight line, such as deploying devices on alternating sides of
a roadway.
