Motorola Solutions AP-7131N-FGR Access Point Product Reference Guide
• Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
• Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.
• Point the access point antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling.
To maximize the access point's radio coverage area, Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a
site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the access point.
2.4.1 Site Surveys
A site survey analyzes the installation environment and provides users with recommendations for
equipment and placement. The optimum placement of 802.11a/n access points differs from
802.11b/g/n access points, because the locations and number of access points required are different
to support the radio coverage area.
Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a new site survey and developing a new coverage area
floor plan when switching from legacy access points to a new AP-7131N-FGR model, as the device
placement requirements could be significantly different.
2.4.2 Antenna Options
Motorola Solutions supports two antenna suites for AP-7131N-FGR. 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.
NOTE On dual-radio model AP-7131N-FGR access points, Radio 1 refers to the
2.4 GHz radio and Radio 2 refers to the 5 GHz radio. However, there could
be some cases where a dual-radio access point is performing a Rogue AP
detector function. In this scenario, the access point is receiving in either
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz over the Radio 1 or Radio 2 antennae depending on
which radio is selected for the scan.
