AP7562 Orientation - Radio 1 up or down?

[Eric_Burke]

In the prior Motorola version of this AP, I believe there was some reason for mounting the radios in a specific fashion (R1 up/down versus R2 up/down). It may have been that you could only assign certain frequencies to a given radio and that they were somehow biased. Does anyone know if this is an issue today? Does it matter which side is up on an outdoor 7562 using the standard outdoor dipole antennas?

Hello Eric,

Please refer to the AP7562 installation guide (link below) for antenna mounting guidelines on page 17.

Hi Eric,

as far as I know this is not valid anymore.
Based on used chipset we can also share connectors for both radios (i.e. AP7522 / 7532)

For outdoor APs i.e. AP7562 the mouting shall follow installation guide in order to maintain correct cabling etc. The important thing here is "the gore vent" which shall point ideally down to the ground.
You can see more here in installation guide

Regards,
Ondrej

Silly question, where is the option to mark the thread as "answered"? I don't see it anywhere...
