plate should be placed perpendicular to the floor, with the arrow pointed up, as
indicated on the mounting plate, with the smooth side against the wall.
1
Install the mounting plate as shown in the following illustration, on either a
stud (or other hard wall surface), or onto drywall.
■
Allow for a clearance of at least 25 cm (10 Inches) between the ceiling and
the top of the mounting plate.
■
Make sure that “UP” is correctly oriented, and align the mounting plate
screw holes vertically.
■
For installation on a wall stud, install the top screw into the stud, as shown
at left in the illustration, and then vertically align the mounting plate before
installing the bottom screw.
■
For installation on to drywall, mark three screw holes using the mounting
plate as a template for vertical alignment, as shown at right in the
illustration above.
■
Use a 5-mm (3/16-in.) drill bit if using the plastic anchors provided.
■
For drywall mounts, you can route the cable through either a side or center
opening for a seamless appearance using one of the methods illustrated
below. Alternatively, you can simply attach the Ethernet cable to the side of
the unit, allowing it to trail along the wall.
■
If you have routed the Ethernet cable through the center opening, secure
the cable on the hook located on the mounting plate as shown in the
illustration below.
2
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the access point.
If installing into drywall, use
3 plastic anchors and 3 screws.
If installing into a stud or other
secure vertical surface, use 2 screws.
