9 Mounting and Grounding the Access Point
Cisco Aironet 3800 series access points can be mounted in several configurations – on a suspended
ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.

The standard mounting hardware supported by the AP is listed in Table 1.
When mounting the AP in areas where there is a possibility of the AP being knocked off the mounting
bracket, use the lock hasp on the back of the AP (see Figure 7) to lock it to the bracket. Also, see
Figure 7 to know how the power cable is to be routed.
