Install the Access Point AP433e
AP433e ships with a mounting bracket included in the box. This bracket is
intended for installation as a wall-mount; for mounting on a ceiling, no mount is
typically required. See the following subjects for more specific details.
•
Mount AP433e Horizontally on a Shelf
•
Mount AP433e Vertically on a Wall
•
Mount AP433e Below a Suspended Ceiling
•
Mount AP433e Above a Suspended Ceiling (Plenum)
4.7.1
Mount AP433e Horizontally on a Shelf
When mounting an AP433e horizontally, no mounting bracket is required. Be sure
to position the antennas vertically when an AP433e sits on a surface. In order to
ensure that the AP433e does not shift much, attach the rubber feet provided in the
box to the bottom of the AP.
Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this, the AP won’t power up.
4.7.2
Mount AP433e Vertically on a Wall
To mount an AP433e on a wall, use the provided mounting bracket, as shown in
Figure 7, AP433e Wall Mounting Bracket
Figure 7, AP433e Wall Mounting Bracket
•
Place the mounting bracket against the wall with the sliding lock
mechanism facing upwards. The Quick Reference Installation instructions
on the bracket should be visible.
•
Using the holes on the mounting bracket itself as a guide, mark the
location on the wall for the AP bracket mounting screws. If possible,
center the mounting screws on a wall stud. (If mounting on a wall stud is
impossible, use plastic wall anchors on the remaining screws.)
•
Drill holes at the locations you marked:
•
3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
•
1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
•
If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
•
Line the bracket up with the holes and screw in the screws.
•
Attach the mounting screws to the underside of the AP433e in the holes
provided (indicated in Figure 8, AP433e Mounting Screw Holes
