Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Mounting the Access Point
Note The mounting wall, attaching screws, and wall anchors must be able to support a 50-lb (22.7 kg)
static weight.
Step 3 Screw an M6 x12 mm bolt into each of the four support bolt holes on the back of the access point. Do
not screw the bolt all the way in, but leave a gap of approximately 0.13 inch (3.3 mm).
Step 4 Position the access point against mounting bracket such that the four support bolts on the back of the AP,
slot into the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket.
Step 5 Slide the access point down to sit securely in keyhole slots on the mounting bracket.
Note The access point should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
Step 6 Using a 10mm wrench, tighten the four bolts that connect the access point to the bracket, to a torque of
40 lbf-in.
Step 7 Proceed with installing antennas (only for external antenna models), connecting the data cables,
grounding the access point, powering and configuring the access point.
