Access Point Mounting Options
AP460i/e access points can be mounted on a wall or to a pole by purchasing separate
mounting brackets, which are described in the following table.
Table 4 AP460i/e Mounting Brackets Usage
All mounting brackets and accessories are sold separately. For detailed installation
instructions about all mounting procedures, refer to the ExtremeWireless Access Points
AP460i/e Installation Guide in the Extreme Networks Documentation Support site.
Install the Access Point
When you install the access point, the gore vent must be on the side closest to the ground
and not above the plastic cover. You must provide a 3-inch drip loop on all cables.
Use these instructions as guidelines to mount and connect the AP460i/e access points
easily and safely.
Install the Access Point on a Wall or a Flat Surface
Option 1: Install the Access Point to a Flat Surface Using the KT-147407-02
Flat Part and the 1-axis Tilt Part
The KT-147407-02 bracket has three bracket parts; flat part, 1-axis tilt part, and the pole
part.

Yes Yes For attaching to a wall or a flat
surface, use the bracket part that
has two holes on the surface of the
metal portion; also called the flat
part. For attaching to a pole, if the
1-axis tilt is not required, attach the
pole part of the bracket to the
access point. If 1-axis tilt is required,
attach the pole part of the KT-
147407-02 bracket on top of the
second wall part.
