Leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall.
ZyAIR B-3000 4 Align the holes on the back of the ZyAIR with the screws on the wall. Hang the ZyAIR on the screws. 5 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power over Ethernet (PoE) is the ability to provide power to your ZyAIR via an 8-pin CAT 5 Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a nearby power source. An injector or PoE device (not included) is also needed to supply the Ethernet cable with power. This feature allows increased flexibility in the locating of your ZyAIR.
