Before You Begin
Refer to the sections below before beginning the installation process.
Identifying Specific Installation Locations
Each location should be as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area and should be free from
obstructions or obvious sources of interference. These RF absorbers/reflectors/interference sources will impact
RF propagation and should be accounted for during the planning phase and adjusted.
Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference Sources
Identifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the field during the installation
phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken into consideration when you attach an access point to its
fixed location.
RF absorbers include:
 Cement/concrete—Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete, allowing
for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking
RF signals.
 Natural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and trees
 Brick
RF reflectors include:
 Metal Objects—Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/heating ducts, mesh windows,
blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets.
 Do not place an access point between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that access points are
placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances.
RF interference sources include:
 Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)
 Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch rooms
The AP11 access point is designed in compliance with governmental requirements so that only authorized
network administrators can change the settings.

Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result
in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed
to verify that they are operating normally.
