CONFIGURING THE ACCESS POINT TO WORK WITH APOGEE

  1. When installing outdoor, select an AP designed for outdoor use
  2. For optimal performance, select an AP that is capable of 1 watt of transmit power.
  3. Disable internal antennas, if any.   
  4. Use only Aura – provisioned factory terminated and tested LMR240 cables.
  5. Apogee will only power off a switch running 802.3at. It will not power off an injector even if the injector is 802.3at – compatible.
  6. Select AP power settings allowing for maximum TX power. Never set power below 10.
  7. Configure AP to operate only in UNII Band III (e.g. channels 151, 153, 155, 157, 159).  If set to UNII Band II, transmit power may be restricted resulting in poor performance.
  8. Set AP minimum RSS thresholds to -95dbi or higher (e.g. up to -102dBi).
  9. Each Apogee contains the internal circuitry enabling two or more APs to connect to a single Apogee.  Non-interference features vary from AP manufacturer to AP manufacturer.  Consult your Apogee Sales Engineer to determine if the proposed APs will support multiple APs connected to a single Apogee.
