CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ACCESS POINT FLAT SURFACE INSTALLATION The access point can also be placed on a flat surface such as a table, desktop or filing cabinet. Do not install the access point on any type of metal surface. If you choose a flat surface mount, select a location that is clear of obstructions and provides good reception. Figure 6 Flat Surface Installation NOTE: Regulatory restrictions dictate that when this device is operational, the minimal body-to-antenna distance is 20 cm (8 inches). SELECTING AND CONNECTING A DIFFERENT ANTENNA MODEL The standard detachable antennas supplied with the Access Point are suitable for a broad variety of environments. If you require a different type of antenna for the Access Point, several options are available by model number from the 3Com Web site (www.3Com.com). For each of the antenna models, you will need an RSMA to SMA adapter cable (model 3CRWE586), either a 6-foot accessory cable (model 3CWE580) or a 20-foot accessory cable (model 3CWE581) to provide the transition from the RSMA connector on the access point to the N-type connector on the antenna. 2-12
