Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Securing the Access Point

Using a Security Cable

You can secure the access point by installing a standard security cable (such as the Kensington Notebook

MicroSaver, model number 64068) into the access point security cable slot (see Figure 2-2). The security

cable can be used with any of the mounting methods described in this guide.

Follow these steps to install the security cable.

Step 1 Loop the security cable around a nearby immovable object.

Step 2 Insert the key into the security cable lock.

Step 3 Insert the security cable latch into the security key slot on the access point.

Step 4 Rotate the key right or left to secure the security cable lock to the access point.

Step 5 Remove the key from security cable lock.

Securing the Access Point to the Mounting Plate

The security hasp enables you to use a padlock to secure the access point to the mounting plate. Known

compatible padlocks are Master Lock models 120T or 121T.

To install the security hasp, follow these steps:

Step 1 Insert the security hasp’s key pin (see Figure 2-12) into the key slot on the access point (see Figure 2-2)

and rotate counterclockwise towards the mounting plate.
