Physical Security
Depending on your mounting environment, you may want to secure the AP to its mount location. The access point can
both be secured in several ways. If the AP has been installed using the mount cradle, it should be secured via security
screw (Torx security screws are included) and/or Kensington lock. If the mount cradle was not used, the AP can still be
secured using a Kensington lock.

The accessory kit includes screws that can be used to secure the access point to the mount cradle. Engaging the
security screw prevents accidental dislodging and theft.

Kensington lock. Attach a Kensington lock cable to the access point at the hard point on the side of the device. Attach
the other end of the cable to a secure location, such as a pipe or building fixture.
