Installation Instructions
The AP 300 Access Port mounts either on a wall with mounting screws or in the ceiling.
To prepare for installation, perform the following steps:
1. Match the model number on the purchase order with the model numbers in the packing
list and on the case of the device shipped.
2. Verify that the contents of the box include the intended AP 300 Access Port and
mounting hardware:
3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location and
mounting position for the AP 300 Access Port.
4. Connect a CAT-5 cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the cable to the
installation site. Ensure that there is sufficient slack on the cable to perform the
installation steps.
Wall Mount
Wall mounting requires hanging the AP 300 Access Port along its width or length using the pair
of slots on the bottom of the unit. The AP 300 can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or
cement wall surface using the provided wall anchors when necessary. The illustration shows a
lengthwise mount.
Item Notes
WSAP-5100-100-WW 802.11a and 802.11b/g configurations with external RSMA (.11a radio)
and RBNC (.11g radio) antenna connectors. The antenna is a separate
purchasable item.
Mounting Hardware: Two Phillips pan head self-tapping screws.
Wall Mount Hardware
• Two Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
• Two wall anchors
• Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional)
Note: In the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following screws
can be used instead:(ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tapping
Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping
Screw
Wall Mount Procedure
1. Orient the case on the wall by its width or length.
2. Using the arrows on one edge of the case as guides,
move the edge to the midline of the mounting area and mark points on the midline for
the screws.
3. At each point, drill a hole in the wall, insert an anchor, screw into the anchor the wall
mounting screw and stop when there is 1mm between the screw head and the wall.
Note: When pre-drilling a hole the recommended hole size is 2.8mm (0.11in.) if the
screws are going directly into the wall and 6mm (0.23in.) if the provided wall
anchors are being used.
4. If required, loop a safety wire, between .15cm (.06in.) and .25cm (.10in.) in diameter,
around the tie post and secure the loop.
5. If required, install and attach a security cable to the unit’s lock port.
6. Place the large corner of each of the case’s mount slots over the screw heads.
7. Slide the case down along the mounting surface to hang the mount slots on the screw
heads.
8. Attach appropriate antennas to the connectors.
9. Attach the Ethernet cable to the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af compatible power
source.
10. Verify the unit has power by observing that the LEDs are lit or flashing.

Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount
Ceiling mount requires placing the AP 300 Access Port above a suspended ceiling and installing
the provided light pipe for viewing the status lights of the unit.
Note:Notes or warnings about suspended ceiling mounts apply to all installations where
the unit is placed on suspended ceiling tile. The case has a safety wire tie point for
a standard safety wire.
Caution: Symbol does not recommend mounting the AP 300 Access Port directly to any
suspended ceiling tile with a thickness less than 1.27cm (0.5in.) or a suspended
ceiling tile with an unsupported span greater than 66cm (26in.). Symbol does strongly
recommend fitting the AP 300 Access Port with a safety wire suitable for the specific
installation. The safety wire should be a standard ceiling suspension cable or
equivalent steel wire between .159cm (.062in.) and .25cm (.10in.) in diameter.
This placement requires installation of the provided light pipe for viewing the status lights of
the unit.
Ceiling Mount Hardware
• Light pipe
• Badge for light pipe
• Decal for badge
• Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional)
Ceiling Mount Procedure
1. If possible, remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it, finished side down, on a work
surface.
2. If required, install a safety wire, between .15cm (.06in.) and .25cm (.10in.) in diameter, in
the ceiling space.
3. If required, install and attach a security cable to the unit’s lock port.
4. Mark a point on the upper or unfinished side of the tile.
5. Push the light pipe through the tile at the mark and remove the light pipe. If necessary, use
a drill to make a hole in the tile.
6. Snap the clips of the light pipe into the bottom of the case.
7. Fit the light pipe into hole in the tile from its unfinished side.
8. Place the decal on the back of the badge and snap the badge onto the light pipe from the
finished side of the tile.
9. Attach appropriate antennas to the connectors.
10. Attach any safety wire to the safety wire tie point or security cable to the unit’s lock port.
11. Bring the tile into the ceiling space.
12. Plug the Ethernet cable into the the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af-compatible power
source.
13. Verify the unit has power by observing the LEDs.
14. Place the ceiling tile back in its frame.
