Site Survey - Labelling AP's location on ceiling without a stepladder

11/10/2015

0 Comments

 
This is a quick post sharing a technique that I use when I need to label AP location on ceilings while performing a site survey. I don't really like using stepladder as they are not convenient to carry around. They also draw a lot of attention and can be too big, disrupting the customer environment.

When I am performing an AP-on-a-stick survey, I use a paint pole in order to mount a temporary AP. It is light and convenient. Here is the one I use: Mr. Long Arm 3212 Pro-Pole Extension Pole, 6 to 12 feet.

So I use the same pole to label ceilings for future AP's location. Here is how I do it in 8 steps:

1 - Print out your label (I use a portable P-Touch)

2 - Peal out the back of the sticker

3 - Lightly stick one edge of the label to the top of the pole

4 - Lightly stick the other edge on the other side of the top of the pole

5 - Choose the location on ceiling

Picture

6 - Stick the label at the desired location

Picture

7 - Apply pressure in the center of the label

Picture

8 - Apply pressure on the sides finishing sticking the label

Here you go guys. It takes a little bit of practice to master the act but it is not complicated at all. If you are having a hard time doing step 8, try twisting the pole a little bit and it should do the job.

Hopefully, this will be helpful for you as well.

Cheers'
