CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE ACCESS POINT
WALL, CEILING, OR ELECTRICAL BOX MOUNTING
To mount the access point to a wall, ceiling, or electrical box:
1 Remove the access point from the mounting bracket.
2 Screw the mounting bracket to a wall, ceiling, or electrical box (NEMA
enclosure):
If mounting to a solid surface wall or ceiling, use two of the sheet metal
screws and two of the wall anchors (included).
If mounting to drywall, use two sheet metal screws and two wall anchors
(not included).
If mounting to an electrical box (NEMA enclosure), use two threaded
screws (not included).
3 Route the power cable (if using an external power supply) and Ethernet cable
through the large opening on the back of the mounting bracket.
The figures below show a cable being routed through the large opening on
the back of the mounting bracket and then the mounting bracket being
mounted to a wall.
CAUTION: For easy installation and removal of the access point from the
mounting bracket, make sure that there is sufficient flexibility with the cable and
that there is adequate service loop (that is, enough cable routed through the
mounting bracket to easily connect the cable to the access point.) If not enough
cable is routed through the back of the mounting bracket, or if the cable is
inflexible, it can be difficult to install or remove the access point from the
mounting bracket.
