Mounting the Access Point
To mount the access point on a rooftop or wall, follow these steps:
Step 1
Choose a mounting location for the access point. If you are using the integrated antenna, the mounting
location must provide a clear signal path to the remote access point. For more information, see
“Choosing a Mounting Location” section on page 7
.
Step 2
Find a solid mounting position for the base bracket, such as a stud or main building member on a roof
or external wall. It may be necessary to utilize a stud finder to find wooden structural members.
Step 3
Assemble the rooftop mount. For more information, see the
“Assembling the Rooftop Mount” section
on page 26
.
Step 4
Mount the rooftop bracket at the mounting location using the following user-provided hardware:
•
Wooden structure—four 1/4 x 2 inch (minimum) lag bolts
•
Concrete structure—four 1/4 x 1 inch (minimum) bolts with concrete anchors
