Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Securing the Access Point
Securing the Access Point
There are two ways to secure your access point:
• Using a security cable
• Securing the access point to the mounting plate
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 cable 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.
Securing the Access Point to the Mounting Plate
------------- TBD -------------
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 2-11) into the key slot on the access point (see Figure 2-2)
and rotate counterclockwise towards the mounting plate.
