Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Mounting on a Horizontal or Vertical Surface
Caution The 1250 series power injector (AIR-PWRINJ4), 1250 series DC power module (AIR-PWR-SPLY1),
and the antennas have not been tested to UL 2043 and they must not be placed in a building’s
environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
Note When mounting the access point in a building’s environmental air space, you must use cables suitable
for operation in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3), and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.
A mounting hardware kit is provided that contains the hardware and fasteners necessary to mount the
access point. Refer to the Table 2-1 to identify the materials you need to mount your access point, then
go to the section containing the specific mounting procedure.
Mounting on a Horizontal or Vertical Surface
Caution When mounting on a vertical surface, you must position the mounting bracket latch opening on the top
(see Figure 2-2). For a more secure installation, you should attach the mounting plate to a stud or major
structural member and use the appropriate fasteners.
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 four mounting holes.
Note When mounting in a vertical location, ensure the mounting bracket latch opening is on top (see
Figure 2-2).
