BSAPs should be positioned for maximum throughput and range between other APs and wireless client devices. Follow 

these instructions to mount the BSAP on an interior hard ceiling, wall, or junction box using the appropriate enclosed 

mounting kit: 
1.

BSAP 3045 only: Install the antennas (sold separately) onto the appropriate antenna ports. The antenna ports are 
labeled 

2.4G-1

 through 

2.4G-4

 and 

5G-1

 through 

5G-4

.

 

The antennas are labeled 

2.4G

 and 

5G

.

2.

Using the metal bracket as template, mark the locations of the four mounting holes on the sheetrock wall, hard 

ceiling, or over a junction box.

3.

For sheetrock ceiling/walls: Press the point of the metal screw anchors into the sheetrock at the marks. Using a drill 

or Phillips-head screwdriver, drive the anchor into the sheetrock until the top is flush with the surface of the wall.

4.

For masonry walls: Using a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) masonry drill bit, drill a hole 1.5-inch (38.1 mm) deep. Tap the 

anchor into the hole until the top is flush with the surface of the wall.

Make a note of the 12-character MAC address and serial number listed on the back of the BSAP 

3040/3045 before mounting the BSAP to a wall or other surface. This information will be required 

during configuration.
