Mounting the Access Point
Pole Mounting the Access Point with AIR-ACC1530-PMK1=
The AIR-ACC1530-PMK1= mounting kit contains a mounting bracket that can be used for both wall
mounting and pole mounting. This kit can be used to install the access point on a pole, mast or streetlight.
It supports metal, wood or fiberglass poles from 2 to 8 inches in diameter.
Table 2-2
Materials Needed to Mount the AP on a Vertical Pole
To mount the access point onto a vertical pole, follow these steps:
Step 1
Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the access point. You can attach the access point to a
pole having a diameter of 2 to 8 inches (5.1 to 20.1 cm).
Note
If you will be using a streetlight power tap adapter, position the access point within 3 ft (1 m) of
the outdoor light control. An AC/DC adapter needs to be used for street light pole deployments.
Step 2
Hold the bracket up against the pole, and slide the two band straps through the top and bottom sets of
mounting slots on the mounting bracket (see
Figure 2-4
).
Step 3
Wrap the band straps around the pole, lock them, and then lightly tighten the clamps using a wrench.
Only tighten them enough to keep the bracket from sliding down the pole
Step 4
Screw an M6 bolt into each of the four bolt holes on the back side of the access point. Do not screw the
bolt in all the way. Leave a gap of about 0.13-inch (3.3 mm).
Step 5
Position the four bolts on the access point into the bracket keyhole slots. Check to be sure that the access
point is properly seated in the slots (see
Figure 2-4
).
Note
The access point should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
Step 6
Using a 10 mm wrench, tighten the four bolts that connect the access point to the bracket to a torque of
40 lbf-in.
