Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Mounting on a Horizontal or Vertical Surface

Follow these steps to mount the access point on a horizontal or vertical surface.

Step 1 Use the mounting plate as a template to mark the locations of the four mounting holes.

Note When mounting on a vertical surface, position the cable security bracket on the bottom.

Step 2 Drill one of the following sized holes at the locations you marked:

• 3/16 in. (4.7 mm) if you are using wall anchors

• 1/8 in. (6.3 mm) if you are not using wall anchors

Step 3 Install the anchors into the wall if you are using them. Otherwise, go to Step 4.

Step 4 Secure the mounting plate to the surface using the #8 fasteners.

Note On a vertical surface, mount the plate with the security hasp slot on the top.

Step 5 Attach the access point to the mounting plate.

Note For a more secure installation you should attach the mounting plate to a stud or major structural

member and use the appropriate fasteners.
