Installing AP320i
Using the Updated AP320i Wall Mount Bracket
As of product revision N, the AP320 ships with a bracket that differs from that illustrated in Figure 24.
The updated wall mount bracket attaches to the bracket that comes attached to the AP itself via three
mounting screws that are provided in the box.
To mount the AP320i using the new bracket:
1. Attach the three screws to their corresponding locations (highlighted in red below) on the default
bracket (which ships attached to the AP).
Figure 29: Wall Mount Screw Locations
2. Using the wall mount bracket as a guide, mark locations for the two screws that will hold the wall
bracket in place. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud. If you do not center the
mounting screws on a wall stud, use plastic wall anchors.
3. Drill holes at the locations you marked:
3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
4. Screw in the screws most of the way.
5. Mount the wall bracket on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole mounts over the
screw heads and sliding the bracket down. Tighten the screws to lock the bracket in place.
6. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the switch and the other end to the AP320i Ethernet port.
Note:
If you are replacing an AP200, the AP320i ceiling bracket can be mounted
on top of the old bracket using shoulder screws; you don’t need to remove
the old bracket. If you are replacing an AP150 or AP300, the AP320i can also
be mounted on top of the old bracket once the ceiling mount bracket that
it ships with by default is removed (no additional screws required).
Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. The cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port; if you do this. the AP won’t power up.
