Installation Guide 5

1 Introduction

The AP-7522 external antenna and internal antenna Access Point’s are mid-tier Access

Point’s with a relatively small footprint which supports functionality for dependable and

efficient network performance.The AP-7522 is a 2x2:2 802.11ac Access Point utilizing one

2.4 GHz 802.11n radio and one 5 GHz 802.11ac radio. The Access Point housing is

Plenum-rated (UL2043).

The Access Point’s unique WiNG 5 software enables the Access Point to function as either a

Standalone Access Point, an Adaptive Access Point, or a Virtual Controller.

2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Installation Instructions

An AP-7522 Access Point mounts either on a wall (with M 3.5 x 0.6 x 23 MM pan head screws

and mounting bracket- or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar.

To prepare for the installation:

1. Match the part number on the purchase order with the part numbers in the packing list

and on the case of the Access Point.

2. Verify the contents of the box include the intended AP-7522 Access Point, and the

included hardware matches the package contents

(see AP-7522 Package Contents on page 6).

3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and

mounting position for the AP-7522 Access Point.

4. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3at or 802.3af power

source and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure there is sufficient slack on the

cable to perform the installation steps.

10 AP-7522 Access Point

2.2 Precautions

Before installing an AP-7522 Access Point, verify the following:

• Your are using the correctly rated power solution for the AP-7522 (either the

AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR power injector or the PWRS-14000-54R external power supply)

• Do not install the AP-7522 in wet or dusty areas.

• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between -4° F to 104°

F/-20° C to 40° C for external antenna Access Points and 32° F to 104° F/0° C to 40°

C for internal antenna Access Points.

2.3 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.

Install the Access Point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.

To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, conduct a site survey to define and

document radio interference obstacles before installing the Access Point.

2.4 Power Injector System

An AP-7522 Access Point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/POE

(LAN) port.

When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place Access Points in obscure

locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each Access Point in addition

to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops

at each Access Point location. The Power Injector merges power and Ethernet into one cable,

reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal Access Point placement in respect to

the intended coverage area.

CAUTION Using a non-compliant injector, or an injector supporting

legacy modes will not allow the AP-7522 to function at

optimum performance levels.
