Mounting the AP on an Electrical Junction Box using the Spacer

To mount the AP on an electrical junction box, using a spacer box, follow these steps:

Fasten the wall-mount bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-W3) to the spacer box

Step 1

(AIR-AP1815W-KIT=), using two M3X8mm pan head tapping screws. Ensure that the side

having the Mount Arrows Up label facing outwards, and the bracket oriented vertically as

indicated by the arrows. See

The spacer box dimensions are given in

The wall-bracket dimensions are given in

Fasten the wall-mount bracket and spacer box assembly to the electrical junction box, using

Step 2

two #6-32X1.62 inch machine screws. Ensure that the side having the Mount Arrows Up label

is facing outwards, and the box is oriented vertically as indicated by the arrows.

Connect the power and network cables to the AP.

Step 3

If you are unable to connect a PoE cable to the port on the back of the AP, then:

a. On the back of the AP, use an RJ45 jumper cable to connect the PoE port to the Pass-Through

port. This jumper cable is available as part of the spacer kit AIR-AP1815W-KIT=.

b. Connect the PoE supply cable to the Pass-Through port on the base of the AP.

This connection sends power internally from the Pass-Through port on the base, to the

Pass-Through port on the back, and then though the jumper cable into the PoE port on the

back.

The punch-out holes on the spacer box (AIR-AP1815W-KIT) can be used for routing

Note

cables. However, an RJ45 connector will not fit through these holes. If this is required,

you must first route a cable through the hole and then crimp an RJ45 connector on to the

cable.

Mount the AP onto the wall-mount bracket. For this, align the AP with the bracket and then

Step 4

offset the AP around ¼ inch above the bracket.

Step 5

Fasten the AP to the bracket using the M2 x 5.5mm Torx security screw. Cover it with the

mylar label.
