For details, see Aruba Networks standard warranty terms and conditions.Identifying Known RF Absorbers/Reflectors/Interference SourcesIdentifying known RF absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources while in the field during the installation phase is critical. Make sure that these sources are taken into consideration when you attach an AP to its fixed location.RF absorbers include:Cement/concrete—Old concrete has high levels of water dissipation, which dries out the concrete, allowing for potential RF propagation. New concrete has high levels of water concentration in the concrete, blocking RF signals.Natural Items—Fish tanks, water fountains, ponds, and treesBrickRF reflectors include:Metal Objects—Metal pans between floors, rebar, fire doors, air conditioning/heating ducts, mesh windows, blinds, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), refrigerators, racks, shelves, and filing cabinets.Do not place an AP between two air conditioning/heating ducts. Make sure that APs are placed below ducts to avoid RF disturbances.RF interference sources include:Microwave ovens and other 2.4 or 5 GHz objects (such as cordless phones)Cordless headset such as those used in call centers or lunch roomsInstalling the APThe AP-205H is designed to mount into a variety of electrical gang boxes. 1. Begin by removing the existing data wall plate (if applicable). Figure 5 Removing Wall Plate (US Single Gang Outlet Box Shown)2. Remove any existing RJ45 connectors (typically snap-in) or cut/remove the UTP cable.3. Use a short Ethernet cable (sold separately) to connect the E0 port to an RJ45 connector or crimp an RJ45 plug (not supplied) on the cable and insert in the E0 port. Do the same for the PT port, if used.4. Align the mounting holes of the AP-205H mounting bracket with mounting holes in you gang box, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7. For worldwide single gang outlet box, the mounting bracket has two sets of mounting holes to meet the individual installation position requirement. See Figure 7 for details.The applicable standards for the wall boxes are:IEC 60670-1, GB17466, BS4662 and DIN49073 for Worldwide ANSI/NEMA OS 1 and OS 2 for US5. Insert the two included machine screws and tighten them to secure the mounting bracket.Figure 6 Bracket to Gang Box (US Single Gang Outlet Box Shown)Figure 7 Bracket to Gang Box (Worldwide Single Gang Outlet Box Shown)6.
