Access Point Mounting Orientation
When mounting an access point on a horizontal or vertical surface, you must ensure that the access
point is oriented with the LED indicators pointing down. This positioning allows LEDs to be visible
to someone on the ground below the access point.
You must also ensure the access point is mounted in such a way as to ensure that all antenna ports and
the console port are accessible for future use.
Note Omnidirectional antennas are vertically polarized and should be mounted vertically.
Wall Mounting the Access Point with the Fixed Mounting Kit
The optional fixed mounting kit contains a mounting bracket for wall mounting or pole mounting.
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 plate, and attach the access point when you are ready.
Table 2-1 lists the materials you will need to provide in addition to the fixed mounting kit.
