Hardware Installation
The UniFi AP can be mounted to the wall or ceiling. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:
Wall Mount
1. Position the Mounting Bracket at the desired location on
the wall with the cable feed slot pointed towards the floor.
2. Use a pencil to mark the three holes on the wall. Use a
6mm drill bit to drill the holes.
Optional 25 mm Hole
for Ethernet Cable
Feed through Wall
3. If your Ethernet cable feeds through the wall, cut or drill
a circle approximately 25 mm in diameter, just below the
bottom center of the Mounting Bracket (as shown above).
Then feed the CAT5/6 cable through the hole.

4. Insert the Screw Anchors into the 6 mm holes. Secure the
Mounting Bracket to the wall by inserting the Screws into
the anchors.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.

6. Align the notch on the UniFi AP with the notch on the
Mounting Bracket.
7. Turn the UniFi AP clockwise until it locks into place.

Ceiling Mount

2. Place the Mounting Bracket in the center of the ceiling tile.
Mark the three mounting screw holes and 25 mm hole for
the Ethernet cable.
25 mm Hole for
Ethernet Cable Feed
3. Use a 3 mm drill bit to drill the screw holes, and cut or drill
the 25 mm hole for the Ethernet cable feed.

4. Secure the Mounting Bracket to the ceiling tile using the
Ceiling Backing Plate, Flathead Screws, and Keps Nuts. Then
feed the Ethernet cable through the 25mmhole.

5. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
6. Align the notch on the UniFi AP with the notch on the
Mounting Bracket.
7. Turn the UniFi AP clockwise until it locks into place.

Powering the UniFi AP
The UniFi AP can be powered directly by a Ubiquiti Networks
TOUGHSwitch or UniFi Switch, or with the included PoE
Adapter.
Note: The UniFi AP uses passive PoE. You must therefore
manually enable 24V passive PoE on the Switch.
Connecting to a TOUGHSwitch
Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP’s Ethernet port
directly to a PoE port on the TOUGHSwitch.
