Mounting Options
There are three mounting options for the AP, described below.
Desktop Mount
This is the standard installation for the AP. See Hardware Installation for instructions.
Wall Mount
Follow these steps to mount the AP on a wall:
1. Identify the location where you intend to mount the unit.
NOTE
For best results, mount the unit vertically. In other words, the antenna should be pointing up or down but not
sideways.
2. Unplug the Access Point’s power supply, if necessary.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the metal base from the underside of the AP, if necessary.
4. Press down on the cable cover lock to release the cable cover. See Unlock the Cable Cover for an illustration.
5. Remove the cable cover from the unit. See Remove Cable Cover for an illustration.
6. Remove the front cover from the unit. See Remove the Front Cover for an illustration.
7. Remove the back cover from the unit. See Remove the Back Cover for an illustration.
8. Place the back cover on the mounting location and mark the center of the three mounting holes.
9. Remove the cover from the wall and drill a hole at each of the locations you marked above. Each hole should be
wide enough to hold a mounting plug (which is 6 mm x 35 mm).
10. Insert a plug into each hole. The AP comes with four 6 mm x 35 mm plugs; you only need to use three of these
when wall mounting the unit.
11. Insert a screw into each of the mounting holes molded into the back cover. The AP comes with four 3.5 mm x 40
mm pan-head screws; you only need to use three of these when wall mounting the unit.
12. Insert the screws into the wall plugs. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws and attach the back cover to the wall.
In the following example, the back cover is mounted upside down (the two holes are at the bottom).
