Hardware Installation
Carefully select the ideal position for your Access Point by considering the following
recommendations:
 The length of the Ethernet cable that connects the Access Point to the network must not exceed
100 meters.
 Place the Access Point in a dry, clean location as far from the ground as possible, such as at the
top of a wall, keeping clear of metal obstructions.
 Place the Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave
ovens, refrigerators, or other equipment that could cause radio signal interference.
 Locate the AP(s) so that the primary lobe provides coverage where it is required.
 Don't cover the Access Point with material that absorbs the radio signal (e.g. wooden paneling,
walls).
Attaching the Access Point to the Wall
Step 1 Place the Access Point at the desired location. Use the wall mounting assembly kit that is
delivered with the P-520r Access Point.
Step 2 Attach the wall mounting clamp to the wall with the spring latch to the upper side using
the four screws.
Step 3 Connect the rear side of the Access Point to the mounting plate:

Step 4 Move the housing slightly downward and press until the spring latch is locked in place.
The P-520r Access Point is now securely mounted onto the wall and cannot be
removed without special tools.
Step 5 Open the housing of the Access Point and connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45
socket. Run the cable to the desired cable inlet then close the housing.
Step 6 Connect the twisted pair LAN cable to a Power-over-Ethernet device (switch or
injector). At least the power LED and the LAN link LED should light up.
