Installing the AP-120-MNT-CV on a Wall 1. Attach the base plate as follows: a. Remove the cover plate from an installed junction box (Figure 1). Save the screws. Figure 1 Removing the installed cover plate b. Identify the Ethernet cable or cables that will be connected to the AP-121 or AP-125. The Ethernet cable must have a male RJ-45 connector. c. Attach the mounting plate to the junction box using the screws from the removed cover plate (Figure 2).

2. With the hook on the base facing away from the wall, pull the ethernet cables through the holes on either side of the base. Hold the cable down and out of the way. 3. Place the AP into the base (Figure 3). Place the top AP into the hooks on the base and align the back of the AP with the large opening in the base. AP120_003 Figure 3 AP installed in the base 4.

5. Complete the installation process as follows (Figure 5): a. Align the mounting posts on the mounting plate with the mounting holes on the back of the AP. b. Push the AP against the pegs and downward, until the pegs engage the slots at the top of the mounting holes. c. (Optional) Extend right and left antennas vertically before installing the cover. d. Once the AP is securely attached to mounting plate, install the cover by placing the hooks on the cover into the holes on the bottom of the base.

Installing the AP-120-MNT-CV on a Ceiling To install the AP enclosure on a ceiling rail: 1. Place the AP into the base (Figure 7). Place the top AP into the hooks on the base and align the back of the AP with the large opening in the base. 3 Figure 7 AP Installed in base 2. Install the ceiling rail adapter that matches your ceiling rails (Figure 8).

3. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole (Figure 9) in the ceiling tile near where the AP will be placed. 4. Connect the ethernet cable or cables to the AP. Ensure that the cables do not obstruct any of the connection points between the base and the cover. AP120_009 Figure 9 Cable path 5. Hold the enclosure base next to the ceiling rail with the ceiling rail at approximately a 30-degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (Figure 10). 6.

. Before installing the cover, you must clear the access cutout to allow the antenna to extend. The access is shown in Figure 11. 8. Once the AP is secured to the ceiling rail, install the cover by placing the hooks on the cover into the holes on the bottom of the base (Figure 11). Push the top of the cover towards to base until it clicks into places.
