2.2 Connecting Hardware
2.2.1 Wall Mounting
This section provides instructions for installing the access point. It is recommended
that only personnel with an understanding of wireless access points and bridging
techniques and grounding methods install the device.
When mounting an access point, make sure the access point is oriented with the LED
indicators clearly visible.
In addition, the access point must be mounted in such a way as to ensure that all
antenna ports and the console port are accessible for future use.
1. On the installation site, place the device firmly against the wall. Make sure the
device is vertically and horizontally level.
2. Use the location of the keyhole slots on the back of the device to mark two
screw hole locations on the mounting surface.
3. Remove the device from the wall and drill holes over each marked location (2)
on the wall, keeping in mind that the holes must accommodate wall sinks in
addition to the screws.
4. Insert the wall sinks into the walls.
5. Insert a screw in a wall sink and rotate it to secure. Do not tighten at this point.
Repeat for the remaining location, see the following figure.
Figure 2.8 Mounting Screw Installation
6. Align the keyhole slots over the screws and insert the device in place.
Warning! The installation of the access point must comply with local and national
electrical codes.
Note! When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install
the cabling.
