Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Attaching the Access Point to the Mounting Plate
Removing the Cable Security Bracket
The cable security bracket (see Figure 2-11) is designed to help prevent someone from using the Mode
button to reset the access point to default values or from using the serial console cable to access the
access point’s CLI interface or from removing the Ethernet cable. If this security protection is not
considered necessary, you can remove the cable security bracket.
Figure 2-11 Cable Security Bracket Screws
To remove the cable security bracket from the mounting plate, follow these instructions:
Step 1 Position the mounting plate with the cable security bracket pointing down (see Figure 2-11).
Step 2 Remove the two screws that attach the bracket to the mounting plate using a philips screw driver.
Attaching the Access Point to the Mounting Plate
Follow these steps to attach the access point to the mounting plate:
Step 1 If your mounting plate has the cable security bracket, follow these steps:
a. Connect the Ethernet cable to the access point Ethernet port (see the “Connecting the Ethernet and
Power Cables” section on page 2-13).
b. If not using on-line power, connect the power module’s power cable to the access point 48-VDC
connector.
c. Carefully feed the Ethernet and power cables through the cable notch on the cable security bracket
and slide the cables to the right or left to secure the cables (see the “Cable Security Bracket” section
on page 2-16).
