1. If there are obstacles in the radio path there may still be a radio link but the quality and strength of the signal will be affected Calculating the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important as it directly Aruba IAP 175 Outdoor Instant Access Point Installation Guide affects the decision on antenna placement and height It is especially critical for long distance links where the radio signal could easily be lost When planning the radio path for a wireless bridge or mesh link consider these factors e Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennas e Be cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path or may grow and obstruct the path e Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path e For very long distance links the curvature of the earth 20 cm per km may need to be considered in the calculation of relative heights e Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps aerial photos or even satellite image data software packages are available that may include this information for your area e Avoid a path that may incur temporary blockage due to the movement of cars trains or aircraft Antenna Height A reliable wireless bridge or mesh link is usually best achieved by mounting the antennas at each end high enough for a clear radio line of sight between them The minimum height required depe2.

Snow and Ice Falling snow like rain has no significant effect on the radio signal However a buildup of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail In this case the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link Ethernet Cabling When a suitable antenna location has been determined you must plan a cable route from the wireless bridge or mesh link outdoors to a suitable power and or network source Consider these points The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 90 m 295 ft Determine a building entry point for the cable if applicable Determine if conduits bracing or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building Grounding It is important that the wireless bridge or mesh link cables and any supporting structures are properly grounded Each IAP 175 access point includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes Ground the access point first using the external ground stud on the unit before making any other connection Aruba IAP 175 Outdoor Instant Access Point Installation Guide 11 12 Installing Antennas 1 Before connecting the antennas identify which of your antennas are 2 4 GHz and which are 5 GHz
