Chapter 4 Mounting Instructions
Overview
Overview
You can mount the access point on any of the following surfaces:
• Horizontal or vertical flat surfaces, such as walls or ceilings
• Suspended ceilings
The access point ships with a detachable mounting bracket and the necessary mounting hardware.
Because it is detachable, you can use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the positions of the
mounting holes for your installation. You then install the mounting bracket and attach the access point
when you are ready. Refer to Figure 4-1 to locate the various mounting holes for the method you intend
to use.
Note The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point provides adequate fire resistance and low-smoke-producing
characteristics suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space in accordance with Section
300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC), such as above suspended ceilings.
Note If you plan to mount the access point with the 5-GHz radio in environmental air space, Cisco
recommends that you mount the access point horizontally with its antennas pointing down. Doing so
results in the access point complying with regulatory requirements for environmental air space.
Note When mounting the access point in a building’s environmental air space, you must use Ethernet cable
suitable for operation in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National
Electrical Code (NEC).
