4. Attach the mount cradle to the T-rail clips using the mount cradle holes (marked with a “T“).

Tip: Pre-assemble rubber spacers and screws to the mount cradle. The mount cradle can then be held with one
hand while the other hand holds a screwdriver. If mounting your MR42 to a dropped ceiling, skip to the "Power
the MR42" section.

Electrical Junction Box Mount Using mount cradle

The MR42 can be mounted to a 4” square cable junction box, a 3.5 or 4” round cable junction box, or various U.S.
and European outlet boxes (mounting screws are not included).
Using appropriate mounting hardware for your specific type of junction box, attach the mount cradle to the
junction box.

Power the MR42

If mounting to an electrical junction box, feed the Ethernet cable through the cable access hole in the mount cradle. If
mounting to a wall or ceiling, the Ethernet cable will feed from behind the MR42. The "

Power Source Options

" section of

this document lists the different powering options and their unique characteristics.

Mount the MR42

Attach the MR42 to the Mount Cradle

(This section applies to wall and/or solid ceiling, drop ceiling or electrical junction box mount
where you have already installed the mount cradle.)

The MR42 attaches to the mount cradle with two tabs on the cradle that insert into the MR42, and is secured to the
cradle using one screw.

To attach the MR42 to the mount cradle properly, line up the top edge of the AP with the top tab of the mount cradle.
