Procedure
Step 1
Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the AP. You can attach the AP to a pole having a diameter
of 2 to 5 inch (51 to 127 mm).
Step 2
Hold the bracket up against the pole and slide the three-band straps through the top, middle, and bottom sets
of mounting slots on the mounting bracket.
Step 3
Wrap the band straps around the pole, lock them, and then lightly tighten the clamps using a wrench. Only
tighten them enough to keep the bracket from sliding down the pole
Step 4
Screw an M6 bolt into each of the four bolt holes on the backside of the AP. Do not screw the bolt in all the
way. Leave a gap of about 0.13 inch (3.3 mm).
Step 5
Position the four bolts on the AP into the bracket keyhole slots. Ensure that the AP is seated correctly in the
slots.
The AP should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
Note
Step 6
Using a 10–mm wrench, tighten the four bolts that connect the AP to the bracket to 40 lbf-in (4.5 Nm) of
torque.
Step 7
Mount the power supply to the bracket with four #8-32 screws.
Step 8
Locate the AP to its final position. Tighten the band clamps with the wrench. Ensure that the clamps are tight
enough not to let the AP move.

Articulating Mount for the AP to a Wall or Ceiling
The optional pivoting mounting kit AIR-MNT-ART1= contains a pivoting mounting bracket for both wall
and pole mounting. This kit allows for adjusting the position of the AP by pivoting the AP along its vertical
plane.
You can also, using this kit, mount the AP to a ceiling in a horizontal plane.
