Installing the Mounting Bracket on a Pole (All Models)

Assembling the Pole Clamp Bracket and the Mounting Bracket

When installing an access point on a pole, mast, or a streetlight, you should use the optional Cisco pole
mount kit. The kit supports metal, wood, or fiberglass poles from 2 to 16 inches in diameter.
The pole mount kit contains several parts that you must assemble prior to mounting on a pole. First you
need to assemble two strap brackets on the pole clamp bracket that are positioned for the pole diameter
you are using to mount the access point. Figure2-8 illustrates the pole diameter indicators and bolt holes
on the pole clamp bracket.
