Mounting Access Point on a Desktop or Shelf
When placing the access point on a desktop of shelf, the use of the mounting plate is optional. The mounting plate can be used to shield the user from the hot bottom surface of the access point when movement of the access point may be necessary. The access point is shipped with four rubber pads that you can place on the bottom of the access point or the mounting plate to help prevent sliding or scratching the surface of your desktop or shelf. For information on connecting the access point cables, see the “Connecting the Ethernet and Power Cables” section on page
Cable Security Bracket
The access point mounting plate has an attached cable security bracket that covers the console port, Ethernet port, power port, and the mode button to prevent the installation or removal of the cables or the activation of the mode button. If desired, the cable security bracket can be removed prior to attaching the mounting plate to a ceiling or wall.
