8 AP6562 Access Point

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

Internal Antenna Model

Package Contents on page 6

) or external antenna access point (see External Antenna Model

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.

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.

NOTE When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable

is recommended for Gigabit operation.
