Installing the Access Point
Attaching the AP150 Antennas
The AP150 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 AP150 does not have external antennas, attach the antennas to the connectors on the AP150 (see
Figure 17). 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 AP150 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 AP150:
1. Place the AP150 flat on the horizontal surface.
2. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see Figure 17), 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.
