Megabits per second (Mbps) using the 100BaseT standard.
For information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control

Installation
Ventilation
A CEN-WAP-ABG should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes
should not be obstructed under any circumstances. Contact with thermal insulating
materials should be avoided on all sides of the device. If installing the access point
in an insulated wall/ceiling, one inch of insulation must be removed from all sides of
the device.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications.
Mounting
This section provides information about mounting the CEN-WAP-ABG-1G and
CEN-WAP-ABG-CM as applicable.
Mounting the CEN-WAP-ABG-1G
The CEN-WAP-ABG-1G mounts to a wall or into a rack.
Wall Mounting
The CEN-WAP-ABG-1G mounts into a one-gang low-voltage bracket or
electrical box. The recommended depth of the electrical box is a minimum of
2.5 inches. The maximum voltage of the access point is 48 VDC.
NOTE: To increase airflow, it is recommended that a low-voltage bracket be used
instead of an electrical box.
NOTE: For the best possible range, it is recommended that you mount the device as
high as possible and as far away as possible from metal.
