Mounting on a Horizontal or Vertical Surface

A mounting hardware kit is provided that contains the hardware and fasteners necessary to mount the

access point. Refer to the Table 4-1 to identify the materials you need to mount your access point, then

go to the section containing the specific mounting procedure.

Mounting on a Horizontal or Vertical Surface

Follow these steps to mount the access point on a horizontal or vertical surface.

Step 1 Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the four mounting holes.

Step 2 Drill one of the following sized holes at the locations you marked:

• 3/16 in. (4.7 mm) if you are using wall anchors

• 1/8 in. (6.3 mm) if you are not using wall anchors

Step 3 Install the anchors into the wall if you are using them. Otherwise, go to Step 4.

Step 4 Secure the mounting bracket to the surface using the #8 fasteners.

Note On a vertical surface, mount the bracket with its security hasp facing down.

Step 5 Attach the access point to the mounting bracket.

Note You can make your installation more secure by mounting it to a stud or major structural member

and using the appropriate fasteners.
