Wall Mounting the Access Point

The access point is supplied with a desk-mount stand but it is probably best to wall-mount the unit to deliver best possible radio performance.

	1.		Choose a location that is likely to provide line-of-
		sight or maximum visibility of the clients in their
		intended locations.
	2.		Ensure that the wall is suitable for drilling and that
		there are no major metallic structures in the wall that
		may interfere with the radio signals.
	3.		Consider the powering of the access point and either
		provide a local AC socket or use the DC Injector unit
		0-1591700-x to down-line power the access point.
	4.		Drill the mounting surface with 2 holes spaced apart
		by 95mm and insert 2 screws into the holes leaving
		about 10mm of screw head protruding.
	5.		Locate the keyhole slots on the rear of the access
		point and carefully hang the access point on to the
		screw head.

2.Carefully locate the access point into the stand.
