Introduction
The Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices to the
controller, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost-effective alternative
to standard access points. The Brocade Mobility 650 provides two placement
options: wall and ceiling. Wall mount slots fit onto two screws provided. Arrows on
the case guide placement of the screws. For placement above a suspended ceiling,
a safety wire tie point on the case provides for a loop of safety wire. The light pipe
fits through a hole in the ceiling tile to provide a view of the unit’s status lights.
The Brocade Mobility 650 receives all power and transfers data through the same
CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. There is no additional power supply required. An
802.3af Ethernet switch or power injector is required.
Warnings

equipment installation before connecting the Brocade Mobility 650 Access
Point.
•Remove jewelry and watches before installing this equipment.
•Verify that the unit is grounded before connecting it to the power source.
•Verify that any device connected to this unit is properly wired and grounded.
•Verify there is adequate ventilation around the device, and that ambient
temperatures meet equipment operation specifications.
Site preparation
•Consult your site survey and network analysis reports to determine specific
equipment placement, power drops, and so on.
•Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel.

The Brocade Mobility 650 has one RJ-45 connector supporting an 10/100/1000
Ethernet port and requires 802.3af-compliant power from an external source.
NOTE
When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable is required
for Gigabit operation.
The Brocade Mobility 650 comes in both single and dual radio versions both
supporting 802.11a/b/g/n.
The Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point contains runtime firmware which enables
the unit to boot after either a power up or a watchdog reset. The runtime firmware
on the access point and the firmware downloaded from the switch can be updated
via the Ethernet interface from the Wireless Controller.

Hardware Installation
Installation instructions
The Brocade Mobility 650 mounts either on a wall with wide-shoulder screws or on
a suspended ceiling T-bar. This unit is not designed for mounting on a desk.
To prepare for installation, perform the following steps:
1. Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the
packing list and on the case of the device shipped.
2. Verify that the contents of the box include the intended Brocade Mobility 650
Access Point and that the included hardware matches the package contents
detailed in “Brocade Mobility 650 package contents” on page 2.
3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and
mounting position for the Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point.
4. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3af power source
and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure that there is sufficient slack
on the cable to perform the installation steps.
NOTE
When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable is
required for Gigabit operation.

Precautions

6 Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point Installation Guide
53-1001934-02
Precautions
Before installing a Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point, verify the following:
•Brocade recommends not to install the Brocade Mobility 650 in wet or dusty
areas.
•Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to
50° C.
Access point placement
For optimal performance, install the access point away from transformers,
heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other
industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors
block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as
needed to improve coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far
away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and
create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a
light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
•Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
•Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.
To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Brocade recommends
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles
before installing the access point.
Integrated antenna model wall mount instructions
This mounting requires hanging the Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point along its
width or length using the two slots on the bottom of the unit. The Brocade Mobility
650 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the
provided wall anchors when necessary. The illustration shows a lengthwise mount.

Wall mount hardware
•Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
•Two wall anchors
•Security cable (optional)
NOTE
In the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following screws can be
used instead: (ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tapping Screw, or
(ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping Screw.
