on the back of the access point.
4. Line up the holes on the back of the
access point with the screws in the wall
and mount the access point to the wall.

Note: The access point does not
provide a power connector, nor
requires a power adapter. You power
up the access point only by connecting
an Ethernet cable to a PoE+ switch.
WARNING: If you use a PoE+ switch
that is located indoors, you must use a
PoE+ Ethernet surge protector on the
cable from the switch to the WAX610Y
access point located outdoors.
The back of the access point provides two
holes for wall mounting. The arrows in the
following gure show the holes.
You can mount the access point to wall. The
package includes two screws, two washers,
and a paper screw placement guide.
You can also mount the access point to a pole.
The package includes a pole mounting strap.
Note: Before you mount the access point at a
permanent location outdoors, we recommend
that you congure the access point for your
network environment and test your setup.
