position of the AP.

A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance

out of your access point. Keep the following in mind:
• In most occasions, the AP should have unobstructed line of sight
to most coverage areas.
• The AP1231 access point is not plenum rated, and you must not
install above suspended ceilings or in closed enclosures that
have limited air flow.

It is strictly prohibited to install around stagnant water, water seepage,

leakage or condensation. Avoid cable condensation or water seepage along
the cables connecting to the AP.
