Cisco Catalyst 9136I Series Access Points
9 Mounting the Access Point
Cisco Catalyst 9136I series access points can be mounted in several configurations – on a suspended ceiling, on a hard
ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.
For access point mounting instructions, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html
The standard mounting hardware supported by the AP is listed in Table 1.
When mounting the AP in areas where there is a possibility of the AP being knocked off the mounting bracket, use the
lock hasp on the back of the AP (see Figure 4) to lock it to the bracket.
