Installation guide

Installing the Access Points

5. Screw in the screws most of the way, so that the screw head is about 1/16 of an

inch from the wall.

6. Align the AP150 keyholes over the mounting screws and slightly pull down (or

across, if mounting sideways).

7. For external antennas, loosen the knurled ring at the base of each antenna (see

Figure 29), point the antenna straight up, then retighten the ring.

8. Connect one end of the PoE 100BaseT Ethernet cable to the 100/1000 Ethernet

connector, shown in Figure 30.

Vertical Mounting with the Mounting Bracket

The AP150 uses thumbscrews to attach to the mounting bracket or mounting plate

that allows the access point to be mounted on a vertical surface. Additionally, three

shoulder screws may be installed on the mounting bracket to allow the AP150 and

attached bracket to mount over a previously installed Cisco 1200 mounting bracket.

To vertically mount an AP:

1. If not mounting the AP150 to a previously third-party installed mounting bracket,

use a 1/8" Allen wrench to remove the shoulder screws from the mounting

bracket, if already attached.

2. Using the bracket holes as a template, remove the bracket from the AP150 (or use

the stencil in Appendix , “Mounting Bracket Stencils”) to mark the location on the

wall for the two AP bracket mounting screws. They are placed 4.3 inches apart,

center-to-center. 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.
