Mounting Options
This section describes the mounting options for the Altitude 300-2.
Universal Mounting Bracket
The universal mounting bracket (Figure 4) included with the Altitude 300-2 is designed to mount on a
vertical and horizontal surface such as a wall or ceiling. It can be attached to an electrical junction box,
and the Ethernet cable can be routed from the wall or ceiling through the central hole in the bracket to
the Ethernet jack on the Altitude 300-2. Alternatively, the universal mounting bracket can be directly
attached to a solid surface and the Ethernet cable can be routed through the network cable hole in the
rear of the plastic cover. The universal mounting bracket is also used for installations in which the
Altitude 300-2 is placed in the plenum area above a hanging ceiling. For this type of installation, the
universal mounting bracket can be connected to a box hanger bar that is attached to the ceiling T-bar.
