Physical installation requirements
Physical installation requirements
The Wireless AP 7220 unit is designed to be installed vertically with the baseplate
facing down (in indoor or outdoor locations). The unit must be installed in
accordance with pre-installation activities, site survey, local electrical codes and
regulatory requirements. Record the serial number and the location of each unit.
These records are required for subsequent network management and maintenance.
Location
When installing the Wireless AP 7220 unit choose a location that:
• provides a minimum separation of 0.5 metre from all persons during normal
operation for units installed using integral 5GHz (13 and 18 dBi)antennas
with integral or external 2.4GHz antennas for regulatory compliance.
• provides a minimum separation of 1 metre from all persons during normal
operation for units installed using optional approved external 5GHz (23 dBi)
antennas for regulatory compliance.
• approved external 5GHz antennas (13 dBi and 18 dBi) are qualified for indoor
and outdoor use except for the 23 dBi which is qualified for outdoor
installation only.
• minimizes the possibility of vandalism or accidental harm to the unit.
• has line of sight with neighboring units.
Supplying AC power
The Wireless AP 7220 must be powered from AC supplies in the range
100V-240V and 45Hz-65Hz. A continuous supply of power is required for
operation of the unit.

Installation scenarios
Wireless AP 7220 mounting methods are determined by the characteristics of the
location at which the Wireless AP 7220 is to be installed.
The Wireless AP 7220 unit is always installed vertically with the baseplate facing
down. It can be installed using side mounting methods or vertical mounting
methods.
Using a side mounting method, the Wireless AP 7220 can be installed on the side
of a building or wall, or on a vertical pole.
Using a vertical mounting method the Wireless AP 7220 can be installed below a
ceiling or on a horizontal pole.
For information on custom mounting options, contact Nortel Networks (see
Appendix C, “Getting technical manuals and support,” on page 25).
