Wall Mounting the Access Point
Figure 2 - Rear Panel
The access point is supplied with a desk-mount stand
but it is probably best to wall-mount the unit to deliver
best possible radio performance.
1.
Choose a location that is likely to provide line-of-
sight or maximum visibility of the clients in their
intended locations.
2.
Ensure that the wall is suitable for drilling and that
there are no major metallic structures in the wall that
may interfere with the radio signals.
3.
Consider the powering of the access point and
either provide a local AC socket or use the DC Injector
unit 0-1591700-x to down-line power the access point.
4.
Drill the mounting surface with 2 holes spaced
apart by 95mm and insert 2 screws into the holes
leaving about 10mm of screw head protruding.
5.
Locate the keyhole slots on the rear of the access
point and carefully hang the access point on to the
screw head.
6.
Fit the power and LAN cables and position the
antennae vertically as show.
Desk Mounting the Access Point
The access point can be mounted on a desk or similar surface, however it is recommended that
the unit is wall mounted to achieve a more professional installation and reduce the risk of
accidental knocks and other damage that can happened to desk-mounted equipment. The unit is
supplied with a plastic stand that is shaped to accommodate the access point.
1. Ensure that the proposed desk area is safe, dry and clean.
2. Carefully locate the access point into the stand.
3. Connect the cables to the access point.
4. Position the antennae vertically as show.
