ATTENTION!

Special Considerations

While Airespace Access Points have been engineered for easy installation, there are some guidelines

that are very important to the end users:

•

PLACE Airespace Access Points NO MORE THAN 140 FEET APART FROM EACH OTHER. Placing

Airespace APs further apart almost always results in poor coverage.

•

DO NOT MOUNT Airespace APs OUTSIDE BUILDINGS.

•

DO NOT MOUNT Airespace APs ON BUILDING PERIMETER WALLS UNLESS THE OPERATOR

WANTS TO PROVIDE COVERAGE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.

•

MAKE SURE that plenum-mounted Airespace APs are powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE)

and use only the metal brackets (not the Ceiling-Mount Base or the Hanging-Ceiling Clips) to

comply with safety regulations.

•

MAKE SURE THAT THE Airespace Access Points ARE INSTALLED VERTI-

CALLY. Airespace Access Points ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED

VERTICALLY, either standing up in a plenum or hanging from a ceiling,

to create the largest coverage area per Airespace AP. Hanging the

Airespace AP from the ceiling provides the best RF coverage.
