Chapter 3: Installing A5205 Sensor
A5205 Sensor Zero Configuration
The A5205 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 A5205 Sensor
For better performance, the A5205 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. The instructions below show
how to install the sensor using the mounting bracket.
Installing the A5205 Sensor on a Counter Top
The A5205 Sensor comes with four rubber pads on its back. The pads
provide traction that help prevent the Sensor from skidding when it
is placed on a flat (horizontal) surface, such as a counter top.
