external antenna cable(s), optional power supply cable, and optional Kensington MicroSaver
Security Cable into the sides of the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point.

• If necessary, drill holes for the various cables where they can be mostly hidden from casual
view. When you are mounting the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point using an optional
separately-orderable projection-mount L-bracket (the one with two long legs), the cables can
be routed through the 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) holes in the bracket.
• Route the CAT-5, optional power supply, optional external antenna cable(s), and optional
Kensington MicroSaver Security cables to where they can plug into the Nortel Networks WLAN -
Access Point. Make sure to leave about 6 inches (15 cm) of slack in the cables for future
modifications.
• Attach the brackets to the wall or ceiling, or install screws for ceiling-mount base:
- Where you are going to use the projection-mount or flush-mount bracket, use
customer-supplied sheet metal, drywall, or other screws to attach the bracket to the
ceiling or wall.
- Where you are going to use the ceiling-mount base, install customer-supplied sheet
metal, drywall, or other screws with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) or smaller heads protruding
from the ceiling about 0.1 inch (2.5 mm).
You are now ready to install the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points. Continue with Step 4: Mounting
