Netgear WC7520 - ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller Reference Manual

Choose a Location for the Wireless Controller

The wireless controller is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be 
freestanding on its runner feet or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. 
Alternatively, you can rack-mount the wireless controller in a wiring closet or equipment 
room. A mounting kit, containing two mounting brackets and screws, is provided in the 
wireless controller package.

Consider the following when deciding where to position the wireless controller:

The unit is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include lift shafts, microwave 

ovens, and air-conditioning units. 

Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit. 

Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. 

Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch clearance.

The air is as free of dust as possible.

Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean, 

air-conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating 
temperatures for the wireless controller, see
