Mounting the Aruba AP 60/61
When provisioning is complete, mount the Aruba AP 60/61 at its intended service
location.
The Aruba AP 60/61 Access Points with or without external antennas are
intended only for installation in Environment A as defined in IEEE 802.3.af. All
interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including
the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connections. (When using an
external antenna, 5.150 to 5.250 MHz are blocked.)
Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area.
If necessary, use the Aruba RF Plan site survey tool to determine the optimum
locations for your access points and air monitors.
The service location should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of
interference. Normally, the higher you place an access point or air monitor, the
better its performance.
If external antennas are used, make sure that they and their associated wiring are
located entirely indoors. The Aruba AP 60/61 and any optional external antennas
are not suitable for outside use.
