Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Before Beginning the Installation

•Do not mount the access point outside of buildings.

•Do not mount the access points on building perimeter walls unless outside coverage is desired.

•When mounting an access point in the corner of a right-angle hallway intersection, mount the access point at a 45-degree angle to the two hallways (see Figure 2-1). The access point internal antennas are not omnidirectional and cover a larger area when mounted this way.
