Installing the AP200 11
Attaching the AP200 Antennas
The AP200 is provided with external antenna ports. Make sure that all external antennas and their
associated wiring are located entirely indoors. The external antennas are not suitable for outside use.
If the AP200 does not have external antennas, attach the antennas to the connectors on the AP200 (see
Figure 5). Rotate the knurled ring at the base of the antenna clockwise to attach the antenna. The ring
should be finger-tight.
Mounting the Access Point
You can mount an AP200 in the following ways:
z Horizontally, as described in the “Horizontal Mounting” section.
z Vertically, as described in the “Vertical Mounting” section.
z Below a hanging ceiling, as described in the “Mounting Below a Suspended Ceiling” section.
z Above a tiled hanging ceiling, as described in the “Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling”
section.
Horizontal Mounting
To horizontally mount an AP200:
1. Place the AP200 flat on the horizontal surface.
2. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see Figure 5), point the
antenna straight up, then retighten the ring.
Caution!
When changing the orientation of the antennas, be sure to slightly loosen the knurled ring
before moving the antenna. Retighten the ring afterward. Otherwise, you might damage the internal
cabling in the AP.
