  • 1.  installation location

    Posted Mar 24, 2015 10:52 AM

    I'm going to mount an IAP-205 on a pole in our shop area and want to know the height and orientation of the access point. It has internal antennas so is there a certain way the access point needs positioned for the best coverage? Also, what height is best?

     

    Thanks,

    Tom

    It should be mounted horizontally. You can use an L-bracket for this.
    Generally speaking, 10-20 feet is OK.

    I purchased the wall mount kit that puts it parallel to the wall. Is there a "top" on the access point that needs to be facing up?

     

    Thanks,

    Tom

    The AP should be parallel to the floor with the logo facing down.
