Installation Guidelines

This section describes things to keep in mind when installing your access point. Sections include:

• Basic Guidelines

• Special Considerations

• Coverage Options

• Site Surveys

Basic Guidelines

Because the access point is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can

reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

• Install the access point in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and

filing cabinets do not obstruct radio signals to and from the access point.

• Install the access point away from microwave ovens. Microwave ovens operate on the same

frequency as the access point and can cause signal interference.

Special Considerations

The 350 series metal case access point provides adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing

characteristics suitable for operation in a building’s environmental air space, such as above suspended

ceilings. This access point is intended for indoor use and can be used in environments where the temperature

ranges from -4 to 131

F (-20 to 55

C).

Caution Cisco Aironet Power Injectors are not rated for operation in a building’s environmental air space, such

as above suspended ceilings.

Coverage Options

The network architecture options of wireless stations and access points provide for a variety of coverage

alternatives and flexibility. The network can be designed to provide a wide coverage area with minimal

overlap or a narrow coverage area with heavy overlap. A narrow coverage area with heavy overlap

improves network performance and protection against downtime if a component fails.
