Hardware Installation
The
UAP-AC-M-PRO
includes hardware for mounting on a
pole or mast. Alternatively, it can be installed on a wall using
additional fastening hardware.
Pole Mount
1. Insert two Carriage Bolts into each Pole Clamp and attach a
Flange Nut on each bolt.
Note:
The mounting assembly can accommodate a
Ø 38 - 76 mm pole.
2. Attach one of the Pole Clamps to the pole by sliding the
Carriage Bolts around the pole and into the top two slots of
the Mounting Bracket.
3. Uniformly hand-tighten each Flange Nut. Ensure the Pole
Clamp is evenly clamped around the pole and tighten each
Flange Nut to approximately 25 N-m.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second Pole Clamp.
5. Attach the UniFi AP to the Mounting Bracket:
a. Position the UniFi AP with the Mounting Bracket aligned
between the mounting tabs on the back of the UniFi AP.
b. Slide the UniFi AP downward into the grooves of the
Mounting Bracket until the snap pins engage and lock
the UniFi AP in place.
Wall Mount
To mount the UniFi AP on a wall, securely attach the Mounting
Bracket to the wall using four fasteners (not included).
Note:
The Mounting Bracket must attach directly to a stud
or other structurally stable surface.
1. Locate the stud.
2. Position the Mounting Bracket on the stud, ensuring at least
two holes are centered on the stud.
3. Mark all four holes on the wall.
4. Drill pilot holes as necessary.
5. Secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall with four fasteners.
6. Attach the UniFi AP to the Mounting Bracket:
a. Position the UniFi AP with the Mounting Bracket aligned
between the mounting tabs on the back of the UniFi AP.
b. Slide the UniFi AP downward into the grooves of the
Mounting Bracket until the snap pins engage and lock
the UniFi AP in place.
Connecting Ethernet
1. Press down on the center of the port cover and slide it
downward to remove it.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Main port.
3. Replace the port cover.

Powering the UniFi AP
Power the UniFi AP with the included Power Adapter or an
802.3af PoE switch.
Powering with a PoE Adapter
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the UniFi AP to the POE
port of the Gigabit PoE adapter.
2. (Optional for non-mesh setup) Connect an Ethernet cable
from your LAN to the LAN port of the Gigabit PoE adapter.
3. Connect the Power Cord to the adapter, and then plug the
Power Cord into a power outlet.
Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)
1. Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place
the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes.
2. Pre-drill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket
using two fasteners (not included).
3. Align the slots on the adapter with the tabs of the PoE
Mounting Bracket, and then slide the adapter down.
