or floors block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as needed to improve
coverage.
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An
area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even
placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the access point using the following guidelines:
•
Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.
•
Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception (applies to external antenna models only).
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 Power Injector System
An AP-8132 model access point can receive power via an Ethernet cable connected to the GE1/POE (LAN) port.
When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure locations. In the past, a
dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often
required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location. The Power Injector merges
power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal access point
placement in respect to the intended coverage area.
CAUTION
CAUTION
The AP-8132's supported Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR) is a high power POE Injector delivering up
to 30 watts. The access point can only use a Power Injector when connecting the unit to the access point's GE1/POE
port. The Power Injector is separately ordered and not shipped with an existing AP SKU.
The Motorola access point Power Supply (Part No. PWRS-14000-247R) is not included with the access point and is
orderable separately as an accessory. If the access point is provided both POE power and PWRS-14000-247R power
concurrently, the access point will source power from the PWRS-14000-247R supply only. Disconnecting AC power
from the PWRS-14000-247R, causes the access point to re-boot before sourcing power from the POE power
injector. If the AP is operating using injector supplied power, the AP will not automatically reboot if an AC adapter
is connected. The access point continues to operate with power supplied from the AC adapter without change to
the access point operating configuration. If using AC adapter supplied power and a change to the AP's operating
configuration is warranted, the access point needs to be manually rebooted by the customer.
Using a non-compliant injector, or an injector supporting legacy modes
will not allow the AP-8132 to function at optimum performance levels.
Do not plug in the AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR Power Injector into the access
point's Console port. Connecting the Power Injector into the console
port can damage the port and void the AP-8132's product warranty.
