Mount the Base Station or Repeater on the Wall
We recommend that you mount the base station or repeater as high as possible on a wall. If possible, mount
it at a downward facing angle for better radio coverage.
The base station and repeater have a range of up to 984 feet (300 meters) outdoors and a range of 164 feet
(50 meters) indoors.
In this task, the term device means the base station or repeater.
Before you begin
You need:
• Pencil
• Level
• Tape measure
• Mounting hardware (screws and wall plugs) suitable for the wall construction. You can also use the
ceiling mount bracket.
• Base station: LAN connection close to the mounting location.
• Base station: If you do not use PoE, a power outlet close to the mounting location.
• Repeater: A power outlet close to the mounting location.
• Ensure that the base station can communicate with the network (see
25). After it can communicate and the LED is green, you can unplug the cables.
Determine the best placement, taking into account the coverage area and the building construction materials.
• If you have a 110 Single-Cell Base Station, you may need to add another 110 Single-Cell Base Station
or additional 110 Repeaters.
• If you have a 210 Multi-Cell Base Station, you may need to add additional base stations or repeaters.
You can use the site survey tool on the handset to plan placement.
Procedure
Step 1 Hold the level in the desired location and at least 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) below the ceiling, and draw a level
line.
