This prevents the antennas from being accidentally misaligned after installation.

Before starting to install the wireless port and its hardware, take time to become familiar with the parts and their physical features.

Universal Mounting Bracket

It can be attached to electrical junction boxes in place of a wall plate and the Ethernet cable routed from the wall or ceiling through the central hole in the bracket to the Altitude 300-2™’s Ethernet jack. The universal mounting bracket can also be directly attached to a solid surface and the Ethernet cable routed through the network cable hole in the rear of the plastic cover. The universal mounting bracket is also used for installations where the Altitude 300-2™is placed in the plenum area above a hanging ceiling. For these locations it is designed to connect to a box hanger bar that is attached to the ceiling’s T-Bars.
