4AP-0622 Access Point
1 Introduction
The AP-0622 access point, a component of the Motorola Solutions wireless controller system, links wireless
802.11a/b/g/n devices to the controller, enabling the growth of your wireless network with a cost effective
alternative to standard access points. The AP-0622 access point provides multiple deployment options.
The AP-0622 access point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable.
An 802.3af Ethernet switch or power supply (specifically rated for the AP-0622) is required (Part No.
PWRS-14000-148R).
This guide applies to Model Number AP-0622.
This document is written for the qualified network device installer.

2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation Instructions
The AP-0622 access point mounts either on a wall (with customer supplied M4 x 25 pan head screws and wall
anchor - or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar. If deploying an external antenna model AP622, access point
mounting kit (Part No. KT-135628-01) is required. An AP-0622 is not designed for mounting on a desk.
To prepare for the installation:
1. Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the packing list and on the case of
the access point.
2. Verify the contents of the box include the intended AP-0622 access point, and he included hardware matches
the package contents on page 4.
3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the
AP-0622 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 there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the installation steps.
2.2 Precautions
Before installing an AP-0622 model Access Point, verify the following:
• Your using the correctly rated power supply for the AP-0622 (PWRS-14000-148R)
• Motorola Solutions recommends you do not to install the AP-0622 in wet or dusty areas.
• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.

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.
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 (applies to external antenna models only).
To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a site survey to
define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point.
2.4 Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions
This mounting requires hanging the AP-0622 along its width or length using the two slots on the bottom of the unit.
The AP22 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using customer supplied screw hardware
(M3.5 x 0.6 x 20 mm- or equivalent).
2.4.1 Wall Mount Hardware
• Two wide-shoulder Phillips pan head self-tapping screws (customer supplied)
• Two wall anchors (customer supplied)
• Security cable (optional)
NOTE The following screws are recommended: (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.
