Surface Mount
You can attach an AP100 series device to any flat surface that supports its weight. First, attach two screws to
the surface. Then, make a hole in the wall a few inches or centimeters above the screws so that you can pass
the cables through the wall to the HiveAP. Finally, attach the device to the screws, and connect the cables (see
Figure 8 ).
Figure 8 Mounting the HiveAP on a wall
Instead of passing the cables through a hole in the wall, you can also simply run them along the wall from the
port side of the HiveAP, which is located at the top of the device when it is mounted on a wall.
You can use a Kensington lock to secure the HiveAP to a stationary object. For information, see "Locking
the AP100 Series Device" on page 66 .

Position two #6 or #8 screws 2” (5 cm)
apart and fasten them to a secure object,
such as a wall, post, or beam.
Cut or drill a hole in the wall 1 - 2”
(2.5 - 5 cm) above the screws to pass the
cables through to the HiveAP.
Position the HiveAP so that the screws
enter the two upper keyhole-shaped
slots on the underside of the HiveAP.
Then push the HiveAP downward to lock
it in place.
Connect the cables to the HiveAP.
Depending on the power source, you
might connect just one Ethernet cable or
an Etnernet cable and a power cord.
