Mounting the Access Point

Pole Mounting the AP using AIR-ACC1530-PMK2= Pivoting Mounting Kit

The optional pivoting mounting kit AIR-ACC1530-PMK2= contains a pivoting mounting bracket for

both wall and 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 8 inches in diameter.

The AIR-ACC1530-PMK2= pivoting mounting kit allows for adjusting the position of the AP by

pivoting the AP along its vertical plane.

To mount the access point on a 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 8 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 Disassemble the pivot kit, if not already disassembled. See Figure 2-7.
