Locking the AP100 Series Device
To lock the AP 100 series device to a secure object, use a Kensington lock and cable. Loop the cable around a
securely anchored object, insert the Kensington lock in the device lock slot in the HiveAP, and engage the
locking mechanism (
Figure 7 ).

You can also mount the AP100 series device to a solid ceiling—or the underside of any horizontal object
such as a cross beam—using three #6 or #8 screws. Position the three screws in a T-shaped layout: two
screws 2" (5 cm) apart from each other and the third screw center-aligned between them and 4.75" (12
cm) away. Then attach the HiveAP to the screws as explained in "Surface Mount" on page 67 .
