Locking the AP340
To lock the AP340 to the mounting plate, use either a Kensington lock or the lock adapter that is included with
the mounting kit and a small padlock (not included).
To use a Kensington lock, loop the cable attached to the lock around a secure object, insert the T-bar component
of the lock into the device lock slot on the HiveAP, and then turn the key to engage the lock mechanism.
To use the lock adapter:
1. Insert the T-shaped extension on the adapter into the device lock slot, and rotate it clockwise so that the
curved section extends through the slot in the mounting plate (see Figure 11 ).

2. Link a padlock through the opening in the adapter and engage the lock to secure the AP340 to the mounting
plate. The opening is 1/8" (0.3 cm) in diameter at its narrowest.
You can tie the cables to the tie points (small arched strips) on the mounting plate to prevent them from
being pulled out of their connections accidentally.
With the AP340 upside down,
align its port side with the
bottom end of the plate.
Push the AP340 upward,
inserting the four tabs on the
plate into the four slots on the
AP340.
Slide the AP340 toward the
bottom end of the plate, locking
the tabs inside the slots.
Attach the antennas and
connect the cables to complete
the installation.
