Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Mounting the Access Point

Pole Mounting the Access Point with the AIR-ACC1560-PMK1= Kit

The AIR-ACC1560-PMK1= fixed mounting kit contains a mounting bracket, for both wall-mounting

and pole-mounting, the access point along with the power supply kit. This mounting kit supports metal,

wood or fiberglass poles from 2 to 8 inches in diameter.

Ta b l e 2 - 4 Materials Needed to Mount the AP

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 a

pole having a diameter of 2 to 8 inches (5.1 to 20.1 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. An AC/DC adapter needs to be used for street light pole deployments.

Step 2 Hold the bracket up against the pole, and slide the three band straps through the top, middle, and bottom

sets of mounting slots on the mounting bracket (see Figure 2-6).

Step 3 Wrap the band straps around the pole, lock them and then lightly tighten the clamps using a wrench. Only

tighten them enough to keep the bracket from sliding down the pole

Step 4 Screw an M6 bolt into each of the four bolt holes on the back side of the access point. Do not screw the

bolt in all the way. Leave a gap of about 0.13" (3.3mm).

Step 5 Position the four bolts on the access point into the bracket keyhole slots. Check to be sure that the access

point is properly seated in the slots (see Figure 2-6).

Note The access point should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
