(50 meters) indoors.

Before you begin

You need:

• Ceiling mount bracket

• Pencil

• Mounting hardware (screws and plugs) suitable for the ceiling construction.

Determine the best placement, taking into account the coverage area and the building construction materials.

• If you have a 210 Multi-Cell Base Station, you may need to add additional base stations or repeaters.
