Mounting the AP 29

Mounting the AP	The AP can be mounted in any number of locations, some of which are shown
	below.

Flat Surface To mount an AP on a flat surface, place the AP so that it rests on the four rubber pads on its underside. The surface should be clear of debris and away from traffic.

Wall Mount To mount an AP on a wall:

1Attach the mounting bracket to the AP by lining up the raised flanges in the center of the bracket with the mounting holes on the bottom of the AP.

2Firmly press the rounded ends of the flanges into both mounting holes, and then push forward until the flanges slide into the holes and the bracket locks into place.

3Mount the AP, using two screws (not provided) inserted into the wall through the holes on the outer flanges of the mounting bracket.

Or:

1Using the mounting bracket (shown below) as a template, mark the location of the two flanged holes in the center of the bracket on the wall with a pen or pencil.

2Install two screws at the marks on the wall made in Step 1. Leave the heads of the screws approximately 1/8” above the surface of the wall.

3Position the AP on the wall, and slide it down so that it hangs from the two screws installed in Step 2.
