To mount the access point onto a vertical pole, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the access point. You can attach the access point to any pole
from 2 to 16 inch (5.1 to 40.6 cm) in diameter.
Step 2
For poles larger than 3.5 inch (8.9 cm), mount the pole clamp bracket assembly to a pole using two metal
straps. Following the instructions provided with the banding strap tool (BAND IT) (AIR-BAND-INST-TL=),
loop each metal strap twice through the slots on the strap bracket.
Do not place the metal straps in the large open area between the pole clamp bracket and the strap
brackets because this does not properly secure the access point.
