Introduction 1
1 Introduction
The Motorola RFS7000 Series RF Switch is a high-performance member of Motorola’s Wireless
Switch family. The RFS7000 Series RF Switch provides centralized Wireless LAN (WLAN)
configuration and management by coalescing a network “intelligence” previously spread across
physically distributed access points. By replacing access points with simpler access ports (or “thin”
access points), the RFS7000 Series RF Switch becomes a WLAN’s single point of contact, thus
reducing wireless networking complexity by moving management out of the ceiling and into the
wiring closet. In addition, through the use of patented Virtual AP architecture, the RFS7000 Series
RF Switch lets you create multiple WLANs without changing or adding to the existing wired network
infrastructure.
This document is written for the network device installer.

1.3 Warnings
•Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment installation before connecting
the system to its power source.
•Remove jewelry and watches before installing this equipment.
•Install the equipment in a rack with adequate dimensions and weight allowances.
•Verify the rack is anchored and cannot tip over or break away from its mountings.
•Verify the unit is grounded before connecting it to the power source.
•Verify any device connected to this unit is properly wired and grounded.
•Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical circuit.
•Verify the electrical circuits have appropriate overload protection.
•Attach only approved power cords to the device.
•Motorola strongly recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that supports the RFS7000 Series
RF Switch power rating. Not using a UPS can result in data loss or equipment damage due to a power surge or power
failure.
•Verify that the power connector and socket are accessible at all times during the operation of the equipment.
•Do not work with power circuits in dimly lit spaces.
•Do not install this equipment or work with its power circuits during thunderstorms or other weather conditions that
could cause a power surge.
•Verify there is adequate ventilation around the device, and ambient temperatures meet equipment operation
specifications.
1.4 Site Preparation
•Consult your site survey and network analysis reports to determine specific equipment placement, port capacity,
power drops, and so on.
•Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel.
•Identify where all installed components are located.
•Verify appropriate rack mounting requirements.
•Provide a sufficient number of power drops for your equipment.
•Ensure adequate, dust-free ventilation to all installed equipment.
•Identify and prepare Ethernet and console port connections.
•Verify that cable lengths are within the maximum allowable distances for optimal signal transmission.
•Verify that the RFS7000 Series RF Switch is powered through an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

2.1 Physical Specifications
2.2 Power Cord Specifications
A power cord is not supplied with the switch. Use only a correctly rated power cord certified (as
appropriate) for the country of operation.
2.2.1 Power Protection
•If possible, use a circuit dedicated to data processing equipment. Commercial electrical
contractors are familiar with wiring for data processing equipment and can help with the load
balancing of these circuits.
•Install surge protection. Be sure to use a surge protection device between the electricity
source and the RFS7000 Series RF Switch.
•Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS provides continuous power during a
power outage. Some UPS devices have integral surge protection. UPS equipment requires
periodic maintenance to ensure reliability. A UPS of the proper capacity for the data processing
equipment must be purchased.
