Installation Guide 1 Introduction As a standalone Access Point, an AP7131 series Access Point provides small and medium-sized businesses with a consolidated wired and wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated router, gateway, firewall, DHCP and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplify and reduce the costs associated with networking by eliminating the need to purchase and manage multiple pieces of equipment.
AP-7131 Access Point 1.2 Warnings • Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment installation before connecting the Access Point. • Remove jewelry and watches before installing this equipment. • Verify the unit is grounded before connecting it to the power source. •...
Installation Guide Hardware Installation An AP7131 or AP7131N Access Point installation includes mounting the Access Point, connecting the Access Point to the network, connecting antennae and applying power. Installation procedures vary for different environments. Both an AP7131 and AP7131N model Access Point have the following port designations: •...
• Point the Access Point antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling (external antenna models only). To maximize the Access Point’s radio coverage area, Motorola Solutions recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing the Access Point.
Installation Guide 2.3.1 Antenna Options Motorola Solutions supports two antenna suites for AP7131 and AP7131N models. One antenna suite supporting the 2.4 GHz band and another antenna suite supporting the 5 GHz band. Select an antenna model best suited to the intended operational environment of your Access Point.
