o The power injector can cabled be up to 300 ft from the AP device for final
installation.
o Do Not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector
o Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and
dust.
o The power injector is not a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet
signal. Ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the
network data port.

o SR-2000a: SR-2000a Quick Setup Instructions
Channel Selection
o The AP-5131 default setting is Automatic Selection. This enables the AP-

Access Points are operating, each AP-5131 would be set to a non-
overlapping channel (1, 6 and 11).
o If non-Motorola (Symbol) Access Points are also in use the channel can be
manually set to avoid interference. Channel selection is made under Network
Configuration, Radio Configuration, Radio 1. See figure 13.
