AirMagnet A5200 Sensor User GuideChapter 3:Installing A5200 Sensor 13Installing A5200 SensorChapter 3:A5200 Sensor Zero ConfigurationThe A5200 Sensor comes with a zero configuration feature that enables users to take an unconfigured Sensor and place it on their network and have it automatically find and connect to the AirMagnet Enterprise Server without having to configure the Sensor first. This concept alleviates the cumbersome steps 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 AirMagnet Enterprise User Guide.Installing the A5200 SensorFor better performance, the A5200 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. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that the A5231 Mounting Bracket be used when installing your A5200 Sensor. The instructions below show how to install the sensor using the mounting bracket. Installing the A5200 Sensor on a Counter TopThe A5200 Sensor comes with four rubber pads on its bottom. The pads provide traction that help stabilize the Sensor when it is placed horizontally on a flat surface. A5200 Sensor User Guide.book Page 13 Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:00 PM
