Vertical Mounting
To vertically mount an AP:
1. Using the bracket holes as a template, mark the location on the wall for the two
AP bracket mounting screws. They are placed 4 ½ inches apart, center-to-center,
one above the other. If you are not using plastic wall anchors, you must center
the mounting screws on a wall stud. If you do not center the mounting screws on
a wall stud, you must use plastic wall anchors.

2. Drill holes at the locations you marked:
— 3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
— 1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
3. If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
4. Screw in the screws most of the way, so that the screw head is about 1/16 of an
inch from the wall.
5. Mount the bracket on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole
mounts over the screw heads and sliding the bracket down.
6. Tighten the screws to secure the bracket.
7. Align the AP200 mounting posts over the circular portion of the keyhole mounts,
push the AP in and slide the AP down until it engages with the locking detents.
You should hear it snap in place.
