2.4 Determining the Installation Position
Indoor APs are usually mounted on a wall or ceiling using sheet metal mounting brackets.
The installation position is determined by the site survey. There must be at least 200 mm
clearance between the cabling end of the AP and the wall. Figure 2-2 shows space
requirements.
Figure 2-2 Mounting an AP
When determining the AP installation position, comply with the following rules:
l Try to reduce the number of obstacles, such as walls, between the AP and user terminals.
l Place the AP far away from electronic devices that may produce radio interference, such
as microwave ovens, other APs, antennas, and other radio communication devices. For
details, see Table 2-2.
l Install the AP in a hidden position that does not affect daily lives and work of residents.
l Install the AP in a site that is free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and
humidity, and take protective measures to prevent water from flowing into the equipment
along the cable.
l Do not install the AP in an environment with high temperature, dust, poisonous gases,
flammable or explosive objects, electromagnetic interference (from a radar station, radio
station, or substation), unstable voltage, violent shakes, or strong noise.
