Installing an Indoor MP
Installing and Connecting an Indoor MP 2 – 15
Figure 2–21. Step 7—Locking the Bracket
9. To ensure that the MP is fully locked onto the bracket, gently pull down on the MP and
attempt to rotate it from side to side.
If the MP comes off the bracket, relock the device onto the bracket as described in step 8.
10. If the MP requires an external antenna, install and connect the antenna. (See
“Connecting
an MP to an External Antenna” on page 2–21
.)
11. If the other ends of the Cat 5 cable(s) are not already connected and the link activated, go to
“Connecting an MP to an MX” on page 2–22. Otherwise, go to “Verifying MP Health” on
page2-22.
Solid Wall or Ceiling Installation
(For required mounting hardware and tools, see
Table2– 1 on page2-4.)
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 to install the MP.
b. Mark the screw hole location(s).
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. Remove the template.
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 2–24.) The MP fits into these holes. They are not screw
holes.
