Installing and Connecting an Access
Point
Installation Requirements and Recommendations
For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing an
WLA620, WLA622, or WLA632.
RingMaster Network Plan and Work Orders
If you are using RingMaster to plan your Juniper Networks Mobility System
installation, you might want to create and verify a network plan for the entire Juniper
Networks installation and generate an WLA work order, before installing WLAs. A
network plan and the WLA work orders generated from it provide the following
information about WLA installation and configuration:
Number of WLAs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area
Detailed installation location for each WLA
Settings for all WLAs in the WLAN
WLC Appliance Recommendation
Juniper Networks recommends that you install and configure the WLC before
installing a WLA. If the WLC is already installed and configured for the WLAs, you can
immediately verify the cable connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the WLA.
Weather Conditions
When planning an WLA620, WLA622, or WLA632 installation, you must take into
account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location.
Consider the following factors:
Temperature
Operating a WLA in temperatures outside of the supported range may cause the unit
to fail.
The WLA620 is tested for normal operation in temperatures from 33°C to 55°C
(-27.4 ° to 131°F).
Informational Note:
Before installing an WLA, you should generate a network plan and
an WLA work order using RingMaster.
System Administrators and anyone involved in the installation of the WLAN System are
responsible for the proper setup and operation in accordance to all rules and regulations
of the country in which the equipment operates.
Informational Note:
The WLA620, WLA622 and WLA632 are designed to receive power
only from a Juniper Networks-provided power injector.
