Chapter 5 The HiveAP 320 Platform
70 Aerohive
Surface Mount
You can use the mounting plate to attach the HiveAP 320 to any surface that supports its weight, and to which you
can screw or nail the plate. First, mount the plate to the surface. Then, through the large opening in the lower part
of the plate, make a hole in the wall so that you can pass the cables through to the HiveAP.
Finally, attach the device to the plate, and connect the cables, as shown in Figure 6.
