Hardware Installation

Place the access point using the following guidelines:

●Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.

●Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.

●Point the access point antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling.

To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Extreme Networks recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point.

Antenna Options

Extreme Networks supports various certified antennas for Altitude 4700 Series Access Points. These antennas are for either single frequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) operation or dual frequency band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) operation.

Select an antenna model best suited to the intended operational environment of your access point. An Altitude 4700 Series Access Point can be purchased with either two or three radios. If a three radio access point is purchased, the access point ships with a single antenna, factory connected, to the access point chassis (next to the existing R1-A connector). This antenna is in addition to the other six antennas available to the access point’s other two radios. The single antenna supporting the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point’s third radio supports sensor mode only and can not function as a WLAN radio.

NOTE

For an overview of access point antennas, connectors and associated components supported by the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point family, refer to the Altitude 35xx/46xx/47xx Series AP Antenna Selection Guide available at: http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/documentation.

NOTE

Tri radio model AP4700 access points have a dedicated sensor antenna. The sensor antenna is not removable, has no part number and cannot be separately ordered.
