Locking the Access Point

You can lock the access point on the mounting bracket by doing the following:

Note:

The access point comes with a lock clamp, but you must purchase your own lock.

1. Complete the steps in the previous sections to attach the access point to a wall or suspended 

ceiling using the mounting bracket. Make sure the access point is installed in the mounting 
bracket.

2. Put the lock clamp key into the top of the access point's lock hole.

3. Turn the lock clamp key to the horizontal position (about a 90 degree turn). (The key only turns 

only in one direction.)

4. Push the lock key down to the bottom of the lock groove towards the mounting bracket.

5. Line up the lock clamp with the lock clamp key.

6. Insert a lock into the hole of the locking clamp and lock it into place.

Installing the External Antenna

You can install an external antenna to extend the access point's coverage area. If you install the 
external antenna while live sessions are on the access point, those sessions will be terminated.

To install the external antenna:

1. Remove the rubber grommet from the access point's right integrated antenna to expose the 

external antenna connector.
