Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-ring, 
clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as shown in Figure 
3.

WARNING:

 

Do not seat the clamping ring and rubber O-ring into the 

gland body until the gland body has been torqued to spec.

2

Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required (PoE IN) 
blanking cap from the AP.

3

Connect the cable to the Ethernet port on the AP. 

4

Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or 
62 in-lbs.

5

Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-ring. Make 
sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the rubber O-
ring.

6

Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the cable 
gland base.

7

Hand-tighten the sealing nut.

The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a captive 
screw. Use a medium flat-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver 
to loosen the captive screw (A in Figure 4) and pull up on the 
end of the bracket to remove the bracket from the AP (B in 
Figure 4).

Removing the mounting bracket

2

Using either of the two options shown in Figure 5, hold the 
mounting bracket at the location on the mounting surface 
where you want to mount the AP. Use the holes on the 

mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the 
mounting holes.

NOTE:

 

The mounting bracket can be mounted to a vertical or 

horizontal surface to support the AP in the required orientation.

3

Remove the mounting bracket from the mounting surface.

4

Drill holes required for the customer-supplied mounting 
hardware.

5

Attach the mounting bracket to the flat surface using the 
mounting hardware. 

6

Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the 
hardware to secure the mounting bracket.

The AP mounting bracket attaches to the AP using a captive 
screw. Loosen the screw (A in Figure 4) and pull up on the end 
of the bracket to remove the bracket from the AP (B in Figure 
4).

2

Insert the open end of one steel clamp (D in Figure 1) into two 
of the slots on the mounting bracket.

NOTE:

 

The mounting bracket can be mounted to a vertical or 

horizontal pole to support the AP in the required orientation.

3

Using either of the two options shown in Figure 6, use the 
clamp(s) to attach the mounting bracket to the pole. Tighten 
the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s 
specifications if the factory-supplied clamps are not used.

4

If necessary, daisy-chain the other steel clamps to 
accommodate larger poles.

1

Snap the AP back onto the mounting bracket (A in Figure 7), 
and use a medium flat-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to 
tighten the captive screw to 1.1 N.m or 10 in-lbs to secure the 
bracket to the AP (B in Figure 7).

Optional Step: If you also need to lock the mounting bracket 
to the AP, then use a matching security screwdriver to screw 
the customer-supplied locking stainless steel 6mm M3 
panhead security screw through the mounting bracket and 
into the AP chassis.

CAUTION: 

Make sure that the customer-supplied locking 

stainless steel M3 panhead security screw is no longer than 6mm. 
If the security screw is longer than 6mm, it can damage the AP 
chassis.

CAUTION: 

Make sure that earth grounding is available and that it 

meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning 
protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.

NOTE: 

The color coding of ground wires varies by region. Before 

completing this step, check your local wiring standards for 
guidance.

Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw/
