Installation

Sensor Zero Configuration

The sensor comes with a zero configuration feature that enables users to place the Sensor on their network and have it automatically find and connect to the AirMagnet Enterprise Server without having to configure the Sensor first. This concept simplifies the process of configuring and managing Sensors during deployment. It also reduces the overhead during regular maintenance cycles.
To take advantage of the Sensor zero configuration feature, the user must enable the zero configuration feature on the AirMagnet Enterprise Server. This feature also carries over to the Sensor properties screen on the AirMagnet Enterprise Console. The user can change the Sensor’s shared secret key from the Console and have it automatically forwarded to the Sensor.
For more information on sensor zero configuration, see the AirMagnet Enterprise User Guide.
Note: For better performance, the sensor should be installed where maximum field of view (FOV) can be achieved. This means that it should be deployed in places where it can cover as large an area as possible with little or no obstruction. The instructions below show how to install the sensor using the mounting bracket.

Mounting the Sensor Using the Mounting Bracket

The sensor can be mounted on any surface, such as a wall or ceiling, using the AirMagnet Sensor Mounting Bracket kit.
1. Place the bracket horizontally so the screw-hole panels are flush against the surface.
2. Attach the bracket to the surface using one screw anchor and one screw in the top screw-hole panel and one screw anchor and one screw in the bottom screw-hole panel.
3. Place the bottom side of the sensor over the bracket at a 45 degree angle between the two circular clips as shown.
4. Rotate the sensor until the sensor snaps into plac e .
To remove the sensor from the bracket, depress the flexible clip and rotate the sensor.

Installing the Sensor on a T-Rail

The ceiling of a building is an ideal place for installing the sensor in terms of FOV. You can place the Sensor anywhere on a T-rail on the ceiling using the integrated T-rail clip.
1. Place the bottom side of the sensor over the T-rail at a 45 degree angle between the two circular clips as shown.
2. Rotate the sensor until the sensor snaps into plac e.
To remove the sensor from the T-rail, depr ess the flexible clip and rotate the sensor.
