Chapter 2: Devices with detachable

antennas

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec
une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut
choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne
dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Using the following procedures and information when installing the Avaya WLAN AP 8120 with External
Antenna access points.

Cable requirements

The Ethernet ports on the access point cannot accept a CA T-5 cable that has an uneven sheath
as shown below. The RJ-45 connector on the cable will not seat properly in the receptacle on
the access point. Use a CAT-5 cable with an even sheath instead.

Mounting the WLAN AP 8120 with External Antenna on a wall

The WLAN AP 8120 with External Antenna installs similarly to the WLAN AP 8120. In addition
to installing the access point itself, with the WLAN AP 8120 with External Antenna you must
also mount the adjoining antennas. You can mount the WLAN AP 8120 with External Antenna
on the wall using wall anchors.

Plan your installation to allow for the installation of both the access point and the antennas.
Ensure you have the correct length of cable to connect the access point to the antennas. Each
antenna comes with three 3–ft pre-installed permanent cables. If your installation distance is
greater than the length of the original cables, you can attach additional 10–ft extension
cables.

Note:

Assembling the external antenna to the WLAN AP 8120 with External Antenna is completed
through Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connectors. The installer should properly torque
the connector using a 5/16 inch torque wrench that is set to 3-5 in·lbf (0.3 to 0.6 N·m) for
brass, and 7-10 in·lbf (0.8–1.1 N·m) for stainless steel connectors. Flats are also provided
on the cable side of the connector assembly so that you use a second wrench to prevent it
rotating and damaging the joint to the cable. Avaya also recommends that you clean out
loose debris from the internal surfaces before connecting.

The mounting bracket is designed to use wall anchors with threaded section diameters ranging
between 3.5mm and 4.5mm. If wall anchors have threaded diameters greater than 3.5mm,
only the two mounting holes marked ‘A ’ may be used. If wall anchors have threaded diameters
of less than 3.5mm, the holes marked ‘A’ and the holes marked ‘B’ may be used. All wall
anchors must have a head diameter of less than 10mm or the wall mounting bracket cannot
be installed over them.

Perform the following procedure to mount a wireless LAN access point on a wall:

Procedure

1. Locate the appropriate position of the wall anchors. The wall anchors should be
95mm apart horizontally and 80mm apart vertically.

The ceiling grid adaptor comes with two interlocking bracket parts. The larger bracket includes
keyhole shaped slots which mate with tabs on the under surface of the AP and a threaded hole
that mates with the captive thumbscrew on the AP. The smaller bracket also includes a captive
fastener and it can be oriented with respect to the larger bracket in two different ways
corresponding to narrow or wide ceiling grids.

Perform the following procedure to install the access point with a ceiling grid adaptor:

Procedure

1. Secure a safe work environment. Obtain a ladder that allows easy access to the
ceiling grid system.

2. Identify an appropriate location on the ceiling grid where the ceiling T -bars are safely
accessible and where the ceiling tiles can be temporarily elevated and cleared away
from the work area. The adaptor bracket assembly is intended for use with the thin
section grid runners, not the thicker section runners used to cross large spans. To
provide access for hands and tools, use a pair of pencils or sticks to hold up the

Installing the WLAN AP 8120 with External Antenna to the ceiling

ceiling tiles out of the grid. Doing this provides easy access for securing the bracket
to the grid.

3. Mount the larger bracket to the grid. While installing, pay attention to the width of
the grid strip in order to ascertain the appropriate orientation for the smaller bracket
which is installed next.

4. Mount the interlocking small bracket to the large bracket and clamp the two pieces
together on the grid. The smaller bracket has tabs formed into it which engage slots
in the larger tab. This allows the two parts to slide together and lock to one another .
When this is done, the two brackets effectively clamp themselves around the ceiling
grid. When the two halves of the bracket are correctly slid together, the captive
fastener in the small bracket should engage threads provided in the larger bracket.
Use a screwdriver to screw down the captive fastener. Securing the two brackets
in this manner is essential to prevent them from disengaging from one another.
Tighten the captive fastener screw securely.

5. Attach the access point to the bracket. Align the access point securing tabs with the
keyhole slots in the ceiling grid bracket and carefully slide the access point onto the
ceiling grid bracket assembly. If the access point and the bracket assembly are
correctly engaged, it should be possible to engage the access points captive
thumbscrew into the threaded tab provided on the ceiling grid bracket.

6. Mount the external antennas to the wall within the specified distance from the
access point.
