4 Dell PowerConnect W-AP120 Series AP | Installation Guide
Installing the AP
Using the Integrated Wall-Mounting Slots
The keyhole-shaped slots on the back of the AP can be used to attach the device upright to an indoor wall or shelf.
When you choose the mounting location, allow additional space at the right of the unit for cables.
1. At the mounting location, install two screw on the wall or shelf, 1 7/8 inches (4.7 cm) apart. If you are
attaching the device to drywall, Dell recommends using appropriate wall anchors (not included).
2. Align the mounting slots on the rear of the AP over the screws and slide the unit into place (see Figure 2 ).

3. On the W-AP121 or W-AP125, orient the antennas. For best performance, swivel the antennas so that they
are oriented vertically, preferably in the same plane, parallel to the wall (see Figure 3 ).

On the W-AP120 or W-AP124, install the external antennas according to the manufacturer’s instructions,

Figure 4 ).
