2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Installation Instructions
An AP-6511 access point mounts either on a wall, under a table or over a Telco Box. The AP-6511 is
not plenum rated.
The AP-6511 is mounted to a wall or Telco Box so the mounting plate is flush with the mounting
surface.
The AP-6511 snaps on to the mounting plate without the use of tools or fastening hardware. Removal
of the AP-6511 from the mounting plate can be accomplished without the use of a tool. A mounting
lock screw is provided to help ensure a tamper resistant installation.
To prepare for an AP-6511 installation, perform the following:
1. Verify the contents of the box includes the intended AP-6511 access point model and
accessory hardware.
2. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and mounting
position for the AP-6511 access point.
3. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a PoE compatible device and run the cable to the
installation site. Ensure there is sufficient cable slack to perform the installation steps.
2.2 Precautions
Before installing an AP-6511 access point:
• Verify the intended AP-6511 deployment location is not prone to moisture or dust.
• Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 40° C.
NOTE The provided metal mounting plate is fastened to an existing standard
Telco in-wall box. The box is customer provided within the customer
building structure, and can be either plastic or metal in composition.
Screws and other mounting hardware are not included.
NOTE Once installed onto the mounting plate, the assembly can resist a
minimum of 10 lbs of force before unit breakage or accidental
disassembly.
