Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Mounting the Access Point
Pole Mounting the Access Point with the AIR-ACC1560-PMK2= Kit
The AIR-ACC1560-PMK2= fixed mounting kit contains a mounting bracket, for wall mounting or 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 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 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. The AC/DC adapter must be used with street light power tap.
Step 2 Determine which size of band clamp is needed based on the pole diameter. Slide the two clamps through
the top and bottom set of mounting slots (see Figure 2-9) and mount the bracket to the pole.
Step 3 Wrap the band clamps around the pole and slide them into the second set of top and bottom mounting
slots on the bracket. Lightly tighten the clamps. 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 2-9)
Note The access point should be positioned with the LEDs on the bottom to allow viewing from the
ground.
