2. Mount the 1.4/2.4 GHz ITS Smart-hopping Access Points and Remote Antennas
within the clinic where they can communicate with patient-worn transceivers
and wireless bedside monitors. Note these guidelines when installing the ITS
access points:
• You may mount each ITS Access Point above or below a suspended ceiling,
• Use category 5 (or better) Unshielded Twisted Pair cable to connect each ITS
• The total length of UTP cable from the ITS access point-to the ITS
• Install 2.4 GHz ITS APs a minimum of six feet (1.8 m) away from 802.11 APs.
3. If you have installed Core APs and Remote Antennas, connect the Core APs to
their RAs now using the provided 68-ft. UTP-and-Coaxial cable bundles.
Caution Do not kink the RA Coax-and-UTP-cable-bundle during installation. You must
maintain a minimum 2.5-inch (64-mm) bend radius for the RA Coax-and-UTP-cable-
bundle throughout the installation.
4. Route a Category 5 UTP cable between each ITS Standard or Core Access Point
and the equipment closet in which the ITS infrastructure devices are installed.
Be sure to install a ferrite block within 20 inches (50 cm) of the RJ-45 connector
that connects to the Standard or Core Access Point as shown in Figure 3-2
Distance = less than
20 inches (50cm)
Connect the routed Category 5 UTP cables to the Access Points, but do not
connect these cables to the ITS network yet. The Access Points are the last
devices to be connected to the ITS network.
