Installation Requirements
An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP300 to be mounted on the wall and over junc-
tion boxes or molly bolts. There are holes for passing the PoE Ethernet or external power supply cable
through the bracket if the bracket is mounted on a junction box. A template of this bracket is included
in Appendix E of this guide.
The AP300 has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP300 with a standard security cable, such as
those used to secure laptop computers.
