The AP25 Flush Mount Sleeve is an accessory designed to enhance the aesthetic integration and concealment of the AP25 access point. This installation guide outlines the process of attaching the sleeve to the access point and subsequently mounting the combined unit to various surfaces, as well as the procedures for removal.

Function Description

The primary function of the AP25 Flush Mount Sleeve is to provide a practical and aesthetic solution for concealing the AP25 access point. By lining up with the exterior of the access point, the sleeve helps the device blend seamlessly into its environment, offering a more discreet and customized appearance. This is particularly useful in settings where the visibility of networking equipment needs to be minimized for design or security reasons. The sleeve is made of plastic (R9B36A), ensuring a lightweight yet durable addition to the access point.

Usage Features

The AP25 Flush Mount Sleeve is designed for straightforward installation and removal, facilitating its use in various deployment scenarios.

Installation of the Sleeve onto the Access Point:

The process of attaching the sleeve to the AP25 access point is simple and intuitive. Users are instructed to first fit the bottom corners of the sleeve around the access point. Following this, the sleeve is pressed onto the access point until an audible click confirms that it is securely in place. This click mechanism ensures a firm attachment, preventing accidental dislodgement during subsequent handling or mounting. The guide includes a visual aid, Figure 1, which illustrates this step, showing the sleeve being pressed onto the access point from above, with arrows indicating the downward motion and the points of engagement. This method ensures that the sleeve is properly aligned and secured, providing the intended flush mount appearance.

Installation of the Access Point (with Sleeve) to a Ceiling Rail:

Once the sleeve is attached to the access point, the combined unit can be mounted to a ceiling rail. The installation process involves a specific sequence of actions to ensure secure attachment.

  1. Positioning: The access point (with sleeve) should be held next to the ceiling rail. The mounting tabs of the mount bracket, which is presumably pre-installed on the access point or part of the sleeve assembly, need to be positioned at approximately a 30-degree angle relative to the ceiling rail. This initial angular alignment is crucial for engaging the mounting mechanism correctly.
  2. Engagement and Rotation: While pushing the access point (with sleeve) towards the ceiling rail, the user is instructed to rotate the unit clockwise. This rotation causes the mounting tabs to engage with the ceiling rail. The process is complete when the access point clicks into place, indicating a secure lock. Figure 2 provides a visual representation of this process, showing the access point being angled and then rotated into position on the ceiling rail. This method ensures that the device is firmly attached and resistant to accidental dislodgement from vibrations or minor impacts.

Installation of the Access Point (with Sleeve) to a Wall:

For wall mounting, the process also involves specific steps to ensure stability and proper alignment.

  1. Mount Bracket Installation: Before attaching the access point, the mount bracket must be installed on the wall. The guide refers to separate installation instructions provided with the wall anchors, indicating that the bracket itself is a distinct component that needs to be secured to the wall first.
  2. Alignment: The access point (with sleeve) is then aligned with the pre-installed mount bracket on the wall. Similar to ceiling rail installation, the mounting tabs of the access point need to be positioned at an approximate 30-degree angle to the mount bracket. This angular alignment is essential for the subsequent engagement.
  3. Engagement and Rotation: With the access point pushed towards the wall, it is rotated clockwise. This action causes the mounting tabs to engage with the wall mount bracket. The installation is complete when the access point clicks into place, signifying a secure attachment. Figure 4 illustrates this wall mounting process, showing the access point being angled and then rotated onto the wall bracket. This ensures a stable and flush installation on vertical surfaces.

Maintenance Features

The AP25 Flush Mount Sleeve is designed for easy removal, which is essential for maintenance, troubleshooting, or relocation of the access point.

Removing the Access Point (with Sleeve) from a Ceiling Rail:

To remove the combined unit from a ceiling rail, a simple counter-clockwise rotation is performed.

  1. Disengagement: The user turns the access point (with sleeve) by hand in a counter-clockwise direction. This action disengages the mounting tabs of the mount kit from the ceiling rail. Figure 3 visually depicts this process, showing the access point being rotated counter-clockwise to release it from the rail.
  2. Separation: Once disengaged from the ceiling rail, the access point (with sleeve) can be pulled away. After the access point is removed, the sleeve itself can be pulled off from the access point by hand. This two-step removal process allows for easy access to the access point or for separate handling of the sleeve.

Removing the Access Point (with Sleeve) from a Wall:

The removal process from a wall is similar to that from a ceiling rail.

  1. Disengagement: The access point (with sleeve) is turned by hand in a counter-clockwise direction. This action causes the mounting tabs of the access point to disengage from the mount bracket on the wall. Figure 5 illustrates this, showing the access point being rotated counter-clockwise to release it from the wall bracket.
  2. Separation: After the access point (with sleeve) is disengaged from the wall, it can be pulled away. Subsequently, the sleeve can be pulled off from the access point by hand. This allows for easy maintenance or replacement of either component.

The design emphasizes user-friendliness, with clear instructions and visual aids to guide the installation and removal processes. The "click into place" mechanism for both sleeve attachment and mounting ensures that users can confidently confirm a secure installation without specialized tools. The inclusion of a "NOTE" section at the beginning of the installation instructions, suggesting that the wall/ceiling mount bracket may need to be installed prior to the sleeve, highlights a logical sequence for optimal setup. This comprehensive approach to installation and removal makes the AP25 Flush Mount Sleeve a practical and adaptable accessory for various deployment environments.
