Factory-Supplied Mounting Options
–
Attach the hanging ceiling clips to the AP. Be sure you leave enough space around the AP to
plug the CAT-5 cable, optional power supply cable, and optional Kensington MicroSaver
Security Cable into the sides of the AP.
–
Use the optional mounting bases and/or brackets to mark the wall or ceiling locations for sheet
metal, drywall, or other screws. Be sure you leave enough space around the AP and brackets to
plug the CAT-5 cable, optional power supply cable, and optional Kensington MicroSaver
Security Cable into the sides of the AP.

Factory-Orderable Mounting Brackets
2.
If necessary, drill holes for the various cables where they can be mostly hidden from casual view.
When you are mounting the AP using an optional separately orderable projection-mount L-bracket
(the one with two long legs), the cables can be routed through the 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) holes in the
bracket.
3.
Route the CAT-5, optional power supply and optional Kensington MicroSaver Security cables to
where they can plug into the AP. Be sure to leave about 6 inches (15 cm) of slack in the cables for
future modifications.
4.
Attach the brackets to the wall or ceiling, or install screws for ceiling-mount base:
–
Where you are going to use the projection-mount or flush-mount bracket, use customer-supplied
sheet metal, drywall, or other screws to attach the bracket to the ceiling or wall.
–
Where you are going to use the ceiling-mount base, install customer-supplied sheet metal,
drywall, or other screws with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) or smaller heads protruding from the ceiling
about 0.1 inch (2.5 mm).
You are now ready to install the AP. Continue with “
