Installation Guide 5 1 Introduction As a standalone Access Point, an AP7131 series Access Point provides small and medium-sized businesses with a consolidated wired and wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated router, gateway, firewall, DHCP and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplify and reduce the costs associated with networking by eliminating the need to purchase and manage multiple pieces of equipment.
AP-7131 Access Point 1.2 Warnings • • • • • • • • • Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment installation before connecting the Access Point. Remove jewelry and watches before installing this equipment. Verify the unit is grounded before connecting it to the power source. Verify any device connected to this unit is properly wired and grounded. Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical circuit.
Installation Guide 2 7 Hardware Installation An AP7131 or AP7131N Access Point installation includes mounting the Access Point, connecting the Access Point to the network, connecting antennae and applying power. Installation procedures vary for different environments. Both an AP7131 and AP7131N model Access Point have the following port designations: • • 1. 2. GE1/POE - LAN port GE2 - WAN Port Verify the contents of the box includes the intended Access Point and accessory hardware.
AP-7131 Access Point 2.3 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. Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough.
Installation Guide 9 2.3.1 Antenna Options Motorola Solutions supports two antenna suites for AP7131 and AP7131N models. One antenna suite supporting the 2.4 GHz band and another antenna suite supporting the 5 GHz band. Select an antenna model best suited to the intended operational environment of your Access Point. The AP7131N model Access Point can be purchased in a three radio configuration.
AP-7131 Access Point The 2.4 GHz antenna suite includes the following models: Part Number Antenna Type Approximate Gain (dBi) ML-2499-11PNA2-01R Wide Angle Directional 8.5 ML-2499-HPA3-01R Omni-Directional Antenna 3.3 ML-2499-BYGA2-01R Yagi Antenna 13.9 ML-2499-BPNA3-01R Directional Panel 15.5 ML-2499-FHPA9-01R Dipole 10.5 ML-2452-APA2-01 Dual-Band 3/4 ML-2452-PTA2M3X3-1 Facade with 6 Element Antenna Module 4.75/5.
Installation Guide 11 For a more exhaustive overview of the antennas and associated components supported by the Motorola Solutions Access Point family, refer to the Enterprise Wireless LAN Antenna Specification Guide available at http://supportcentral.motorolasolutions.com/support/product/manuals.do. 2.3.2 Power Injector System The Access Point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/PoE port. NOTE Single radio model Access Points always operate using a full power configuration.
AP-7131 Access Point A separate Power Injector is required for each Access Point comprising the network. The following guidelines should be adhered to before cabling the Power Injector to an Ethernet source and an Access Point: • • • ! ! Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector. Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust. The Power Injector isn’t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet signal.
Installation Guide 13 3. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the Access Point’s GE1/POE port. NOTE Cabling a Power Injector to the WAN port (GE2 port) renders the Access Point non-operational. Only use a AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR (or AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR) Power Injector with the Access Point’s GE1/POE (LAN) port. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Access Point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
