Installation
Caution:
If the AP will be powered by a user-supplied PoE power injector,
use only a gigabit-compatible power injector. Although 10/100 PoE-enabled
switches are compatible, PoE injectors designed for 10/100 networks only are
not compatible with the AP.
Installation
The AP can be mounted on a wall, a wall-mounted electrical box, or a
suspended ceiling. The AP Bracket is mounted first and then the AP is attached
to the bracket. The AP Bracket is two-sided: The AP is installed on the side
with the UP arrow. The other side with the T-bar clip screw holes faces the wall
or T-bar.
Mounting directly on a wall
1.
Hold the AP bracket with the UP arrow pointing up against the wall where
you want to install it. Mark the location of the screw holes (1) [or 5] and
the cutout area (6).
2.
Drill two holes for the wall anchors, typically 4.7 mm (3/16 inch) in
diameter.
3.
If necessary, drill a hole for the Ethernet cable in the marked cutout area
of the AP Bracket. Alternatively, you can feed the Ethernet cable from
above and through the AP cable channel.
4.
Insert the anchors and tap them flush with the wall surface.
5.
Pull the Ethernet cable through the hole in the wall and the AP Bracket.
6.
Use the mounting screws to attach the AP Bracket to the wall. Proceed to

Bracket.

the AP Bracket to the box using the countersunk screws. Proceed to
