CHAPTER
The Altitude™ 4522 Access Point, a component of the Extreme Networks® Wireless
Mobility System, links wireless 802.11a/b/g/n devices to the Summit
Controller, enabling growth of your wireless network with a cost effective alternative to
standard Access Points. The Altitude 4522 Access Point provides multiple deployment
options.
The Altitude 4522 Access Point receives all power and transfers data through the same
CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. An 802.3af Ethernet controller or power supply specifically
rated for the Altitude 4522 Access Point is required (Part No. PWRS-14000-148R).
®
WM3000 Series
An Altitude 4522 Access Point uses Extreme Networks Altitude
software as its onboard operating system. The Access Point’s unique software enables the
Access Point to function as either a Virtual Controller AP capable of adopting and
managing up to 24 additional Altitude 4522 Access Points, a standalone Access Point or a
dependent mode Access Point managed by its connected controller.
If new to Extreme Networks Access Point technology, refer to the Altitude Access Point
System Reference Guide to familiarize yourself with Access Point technology and the feature
set supported by the Altitude network management software. The guide is available, at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/documentation
This guide applies to Extreme Networks Model Number AP4522 Series Access Points. The
Altitude 4522 Access Point is approved under MODEL: AP-0622. This document is written
for the qualified network device installer.

NOTE
In the above part numbers,
is for use in the European Union regulatory domain. “US” defines the model as only legally
deployable in the United States.
a
country code of “ROW” represents a world wide model, “EU”
2 Verify that the contents of the box include the intended Altitude 4522 Access Point, and
the included hardware matches the package contents (see“Package Contents” on page 8).
3 Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting
position for the Altitude 4522 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 recommended
for Gigabit operation.
Precautions
Before installing an Altitude 4522 Access Point, verify the following:
●
You are using the correctly rated DC power supply for the Altitude 4522 Access Point
(Part No. PWRS-14000-148R)
●
Extreme Networks recommends that you do not install the Altitude 4522 Access Point in
wet or dusty areas.
●
Verify that the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.
Access Point Placement
For optimal performance, install the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty
motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, or other industrial equipment.
Altitude™ 4522 Series Access Point Installation Guide

Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions
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, Extreme Networks recommends
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before
installing the Access Point.
Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount
