6.12.1 Mounting OAP433e with the Pole-Mounting Bracket
Be sure to attach antennas (see Connecting Antennas and Ground Wire to
OAP433e) before mounting an OAP433e on a pole. Follow these steps to mount
the unit to a 2 to 3 inch diameter steel pole or tube using the mounting bracket:
• Attach the OAP433e to the square portion of the mounting bracket by
placing the bracket flat against the bottom of the AP and inserting screws
into the corners of the bracket portion. The holes on the bracket should
correspond to the holes on the bottom of the AP. See Figure 30, Square
mounting bracket attached to bottom of OAP433e.

Note that the circular portion of the bracket should be facing to the side of the P
(the AP’s sides are the faces that do not have antennas or other attachments).
This is to ensure that the AP is properly oriented when the bracket is fully
assembled.
• Next, identify the portion of the bracket assembly that inserts into the
circular opening on the portion currently attached to the AP. The correct
component has a corresponding circular section with a hollow cone
protruding from one face of it. See Figure 31, Second bracket attachment
