4 Cisco Small Business WAP371 Series Wireless Access Point
Mounting the Cisco WAP371 Wireless-AC/N Dual
Radio Access Point with Single Point Setup
You can place your access point on a desktop, or mount it on a wall or ceiling.
Placement Tips
• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the access point from overheating, do not
operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).
• Air Flow—Both side panels have vents that must be unobstructed to prevent
overheating.
• Mechanical Loading—The device should be level, stable, and secure to prevent it
from sliding or shifting out of position.
Wall and Ceiling Mounting
The Cisco WAP371 device can be wall or ceiling-mounted. A mounting kit is
packaged with your device. The kit is designed to install your device to the wall or the
ceiling.
The mounting bracket has some flexibility so that you can reuse existing holes drilled
for a Cisco WAP551 or WAP561 device. The installer can remove the Cisco WAP551
or WAP561 and mount the Cisco WAP371.
The dimensions for the mount kit screws are as follows:
