Changing the Instant AP Installation Mode

By default, all Instant AP models initially ship with an indoor or outdoor installation mode. This means that Instant APs with an indoor installation mode are normally placed in enclosed, protected environments and those with an outdoor installation mode are used in outdoor environments and exposed to harsh elements.

In most countries, there are different channels and power that are allowed for indoor and outdoor operation. You may want to change an Instant AP’s installation mode from indoor to outdoor or vice versa.

The following procedure configures an installation mode for the Instant AP:
