Solid Wall or Ceiling Installation
(For required mounting hardware and tools, see Table 4 on page 22.)
1 Prepare holes in the wall or ceiling for the universal mounting bracket, using
the following steps:
a Place the paper mounting template over the location where you want to
install the MP access point.
b Mark the screw hole location(s).
❍ If you plan to route the Cat 5 cable externally along the wall or
ceiling, mark the locations of both the center screw hole and the
screw hole by the port connector opening.
❍ If you plan to route the Cat 5 cable through a hole in the wall or
ceiling, mark the location of the center screw hole only. You cannot
use the screw hole by the port connector opening if you cut a hole for
the opening.
c Remove the template.
2 Install the drywall anchor(s):
a Hammer a drywall anchor into each hole, up to the beginning of the
threads on the anchor.
b Screw each anchor the rest of the way into its hole using a
#2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
c Remove the screw from each anchor and save the screw(s) for step 6 on
page 42.
Note. The solid surface mounting option requires Cat 5 cable that does not
have strain relief, unless you plan to route the cable through a hole in the wall
or ceiling. The other options can use Cat 5 cable with or without strain relief.
Note. Do not mark the four holes on the edges of the bracket. (These
are the holes indicated by the dashed lines in Figure 28.) The MP access
point fits into these holes. They are not screw holes.
