A5205 Sensor Zero Configuration
The A5205 Sensor comes with a zero configuration feature that
enables users to take an unconfigured Sensor and place it on their
network and have it automatically find and connect to the AirMagnet
Enterprise Server without having to configure the Sensor first. This
concept alleviates the cumbersome steps of configuring and
managing Sensors during deployment. It also reduces the overhead
during regular maintenance cycles.

Installing the A5205 Sensor
For better performance, the A5205 Sensor should be installed where
maximum field of view (FOV) can be achieved. This means that it
should be deployed in places where it can cover as large an area as
possible with little or no obstruction. The instructions below show
how to install the sensor using the mounting bracket.
Installing the A5205 Sensor on a Counter Top
The A5205 Sensor comes with four rubber pads on its back. The pads
provide traction that help prevent the Sensor from skidding when it
is placed on a flat (horizontal) surface, such as a counter top.
