Mounting the base station
You can mount the base station on a wall or ceiling, or set on a flat surface. Prior to mounting
the base station, consider the following:
• A location that is higher than cubicle wall height provides better coverage.
• The base station must be readily accessible for resetting and registration procedures.
• The base station receives power through PoE, so the base station must be within range
of the Ethernet cable providing the power.
Beware of metal surfaces or concrete thickness greater than 3 feet (1 meter) that might cause
signal interference.
Note that multiple base stations in the same location must be at least 17 feet (5 meters) away
from each other.
Ensure that you register the appropriate repeaters prior to mounting the base station in the
environment. Registering repeaters prior to mounting the base station helps to avoid signal
disruptions and unnecessary traveling between repeater and base station. See
Standing the base station on a flat surface:
• To stand the base station on a flat surface, first plug the Ethernet cable into the slot on the
back of the base station until you hear it click.
• With the Ethernet cable connected, snap the base attachment into the bottom of the base
station and route the cable through the slot in the stand.
