Mounting the Access Point/Bridge

Mounting the Access Point/Bridge

Typically, the access point/bridge is installed on a rooftop, mast, tower, wall, or a suitable flat surface. Each of these installations requires a different approach. This document provides a mounting overview. For detailed mounting instructions, refer to the mounting instructions that shipped with your unit.

The access point/bridge is available in two configurations:

•Integrated antenna access point/bridge (with 13-dBi)

•External antenna access point/bridge (with two antenna connectors for use with a single antenna or dual diversity antennas)

Note Personnel installing the access point/bridge must understand wireless techniques, antenna mounting and adjustment, and grounding methods.

Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna access point/bridge unit and the external antenna must be professionally installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be password-protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.

The following warning applies to outdoor and vehicle installations:

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
