Mounting the Access Points (Optional)
Extricom EXRP-20E/40E/40En APs can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. For this purpose, a
separate mounting bracket is provided for ease of installation. The bracket has two holes for
mounting to the wall, and one hole for a screw that mounts the AP to the bracket.
Extricom EXRP-20/40/30n APs can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. To mount the APs, you will
need two stainless steel pan head 8x1-1/4" self-tapping Phillips screws.
To mount the EXRP-20/40/30n Access Points:
1. Place the installation template (refer to Error! Reference source not found. in this Guide) on
the wall where you want to mount the AP.
2. Mark the "Point for Drilling" locations on the wall.
3. Screw the two stainless steel pan head 8x1-1/4" self-tapping Phillips screws into the wall
leaving enough of the screws protruding to enable you to hook the AP over the screw.
4. Align the holes on the back of the AP with the screws and slip the AP into place.
