Step 2: Preparing Mounting Locations
Step 2: Preparing Mounting Locations
On your map, you should have the AP locations, mounting options, and power
options.
• Find the required mounting locations.
• Use the appropriate mounting bases and/or brackets to mark the wall
or ceiling locations for sheet metal, drywall, or other screws. Make sure
you leave enough space around the APs and brackets to plug the CAT-5
cable, optional external antenna cable(s), optional power converter
cable, and optional Kensington MicroSaver Security Cable into the sides
of the APs.
Figure - Factory-Supplied Mounting Brackets
• If necessary, drill holes for the various cables where they can be mostly
hidden from casual view. When you are mounting the AP using a
projection-mount L-bracket (the one with two long legs) the cables can
be routed through the 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) holes in the bracket.
• Route the CAT-5, optional power converter, optional external antenna
cable(s), and optional Kensington MicroSaver Security cables to where
they can plug into the AP. Make sure to leave about 6 inches (15 cm) of
slack in the cables for future modifications.
• Attach the brackets to the wall or ceiling, or install screws for
ceiling-mount base:
- Where you are going to use the projection-mount or flush-mount
bracket, use customer-supplied sheet metal, drywall, or other
screws to attach the bracket to the ceiling or wall.
