USER GUIDE – Confidea G3 7
1.3.2. Mount the Confidea Wireless access point (WCAP)
POSITIONING THE CONFIDEA WCAP
• Do not place the WCAP behind obstacles such as walls, cabinets, panels, projection screen,
glass screens etc. These objects can significantly reduce RF signal strength as well as quality.
• Antennas should not be placed above suspended ceilings as this can cause unnecessary
reflections and signal attenuation.
• Power cables, cable trays and electric machinery can also influence the signal of the
antennas.
• Do not put antennas in metal cable trays or metal shelves as this will significantly reduce the
signal quality.
• Microwave ovens and Bluetooth devices may cause intermittent interference in the 2.4 GHZ
range, this is why we recommend the 5 GHz range.
• Avoid mounting the WCAP on a pillar since this will cause signal “shadows”, which are areas
with reduced or no signal reception.
The images below show how to position the WCAP correctly.
O
PTIMIZE POSITION OF THE WCAP ANTENNAS
• When the antennas of the WCAP are positioned very close to a wall or ceiling, this may result
in absorption of the RF signal , which can decrease RF signal quality.
• It is important not to point the antennas directly towards the units.
• The angle of the antennas in relation to the position of the delegate units affects the overall
RF link quality between WCAP and delegate units. See the images below for more
information.
