Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Installation Guide

Place the access point using the following guidelines:

●

Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.

●

Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.

●

Point the access point antennas downward if attaching to the ceiling. 

To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Extreme Networks recommends 
conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before 
installing the access point.

Extreme Networks supports various certified antennas for Altitude 4700 Series Access 
Points. These antennas are for either single frequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) 
operation or dual frequency band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) operation.

Select an antenna model best suited to the intended operational environment of your 
access point. An Altitude 4700 Series Access Point can be purchased with either two or 
three radios. If a three radio access point is purchased, the access point ships with a 
single antenna, factory connected, to the access point chassis (next to the existing R1-A 
connector). This antenna is in addition to the other six antennas available to the access 
point’s other two radios. The single antenna supporting the Altitude 4700 Series Access 
Point’s third radio supports sensor mode only and can not function as a WLAN radio.
