Installation Guide 5

1 Introduction

The AP6562 access point, a component of the Motorola Solutions wireless controller system, links wireless

802.11abgn devices, enabling the growth of your wireless network with a cost effective alternative to standard access points. The AP6562 access point provides multiple deployment options.

The AP6562 access point receives all power and transfers data through the same CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable. An 802.3at Ethernet switch or power supply (specifically rated for the AP6562) is required. Motorola Solutions recommends the AP-PSBIAS-7161-US or AP-PSBIAS-7161-WW outdoor rated power supply

An AP6562 model access point uses WiNG 5 software as its onboard operating system. The access point’s unique WiNG 5 software enables the access point to function as either a Virtual Controller AP capable of adopting and managing up to 24 additional AP6562 access points or a Standalone access point managed by its connected controller.

If new to Motorola Solutions access point technology, refer to the WiNG Access Point System Reference Guide to familiarize yourself with access point technology and the feature set supported by the WiNG operating system. The guide is available at http://supportcentral.motorolasolutions.com/support/product/manuals.do

The AP6562 access point is approved under MODEL: AP-6562.

This document is written for the qualified network device installer.

2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Installation Instructions

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 AP6562 access point, and the included hardware matches the package contents for an internal antenna access point (see

Package Contents on page 6 Package Contents on page 7

3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting position for the AP6562 access point.

4. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3at power source and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure 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.

) or external antenna access point (see External Antenna Model ).

Internal Antenna Model

2.2 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.

Place the access point using the following guidelines:

• Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception (applies to external antenna models only).

• When deploying outdoor mesh networks using a pole mounted installation, install the access point at an ideal height of 30 to 35 feet from the ground.

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.

Installation Guide 9

2.3 AP6562 Hardware Mounting and Installation

It is recommended to use the AP6562 mounting bracket kit (KT-147407-01) for most deployments. When a standoff distance is required for a pole mounted or wall mounted installation, use the extension arm kit (KT-150173-01).

2.3.1 Mounting Bracket Kit

The AP6562 mounting bracket kit (KT-147407-01) includes the access point bracket (left), angle adapter bracket (center), and pole mount bracket (right) sections:

The access point bracket and the angle adapter bracket can rotated (plus or minus 15 degrees) and tilted (up to 45 degrees) to achieve the required angle and rotation.

The following ancillary hardware to assemble the mounting bracket sections is included in the kit:

Description Quantity

M6 serrated hex flanged screws 8

1/2 inch hex head nut 2

1/2 inch x 3/4 inch hex head bolt 2

10 AP6562 Access Point

A torque wrench or ratchet with a 10mm adapter, or an adjustable wrench, can be used to assemble the mounting brackets. A finished assembly of the mounting bracket kit is shown below. Assembly during deployment may differ to achieve the required angle and rotation.

2.3.2 Extension Arm Kit

When mounting an AP6562 on poles more than 3 inches in diameter, use the extension arm kit (KT-150173-01) to provide a minimum standoff distance of twelve inches to avoid interference with the antennas. The extension arm kit is only required for AP6562 external antenna models.

Installation Guide 11

The extension arm kit can also be used in combination with the any of the brackets from the mounting bracket kit.

The following ancillary hardware to attach the extension arm to the mounting bracket kit sections is included in the extension arm kit:

Description Quantity

1/2 inch hex head nut 2

1/2 inch x 3/4 inch hex head bolt 2

2.3.3 Pole Mounted Installations

The mounting hardware kit and extension arm can be used in various combinations to properly install the AP6562 on a pole. For poles of up to 3 inches in diameter, attach the pole mount bracket of the mounting hardware kit at the desired position on the pole using band clamps up to 3/4 inch width, or a 1/2 inch x 4 inch wide U-bolt and nuts. For poles greater than 3 inches in diameter, attach the pole mount bracket using band clamps.

NOTE The U-bolt and band clamps are not included in the mounting bracket kit.

12 AP6562 Access Point

NOTE The extension arm is recommended for installations on poles greater than 3 inches in

diameter.

2.3.4 Vertical Pole Mount

Use the following procedures for vertical pole mount installations. The extension arm is recommended when mounting the access point to poles greater than 3 inches is diameter.

For poles up to 3 inches in diameter when using a U-bolt

1. Thread the two inner nuts onto the U-bolt. Place the U-bolt at the desired mounting location.

2. Place the pole mount bracket section on the U bolt. Adjust the inner nuts until the pole mount bracket section is against the pole and the U-bolt can be secured tightly to the pole.
