Pole Mounting the Access Point with the Fixed Mount Kit
The optional fixed mounting kit contains a mounting bracket for wall mounting or pole mounting.This
kit can be used to install the access point on a pole, mast or streetlight. It supports metal, wood or
fiberglass poles from 2 to 16 inches in diameter.
Ta b l e 2 Materials Needed to Mount the AP on a Vertical Pole
To mount the access point onto a vertical pole or streetlight pole, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the access point. You can attach the access
point to any pole with a diameter from 2 to 16 inches (5.1 to 40.6 cm).
Note If you will be using a streetlight power tap adapter, position the access point within
3 ft (1 m) of the outdoor light control.
Step 2 Mount the pole clamp bracket assembly to a pole using two metal straps. Following the
instructions provided with the banding strap tool (BAND IT) (AIR-BAND-INST-TL=), loop
each metal strap twice through the slots on the strap bracket.
Caution Do not place the metal straps in the large open area between the pole clamp bracket and
the strap brackets, because this does not properly secure the access point
Step 3 Position the pole clamp bracket on the pole as needed before tightening the metal bands.
Note When the metal bands are tightened to the full tension, the pole clamp bracket cannot
be adjusted unless the metal bands are cut or disassembled.
