Choosing a mounting location
A good mounting location is important to get the best performance out of your CW9163E access point. Keep the following in mind:
1.
The device should have an unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas.
2.
Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).
3.
If used in a mesh deployment, the CW9163E should have a line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices.
4.
The antennas should be as unobstructed as possible. Ensure there is clearance around the CW9163E to install selected antennas.
Attach the mounting plate
The CW9163E mounting plate can be used to attach the AP to wall or solid ceiling mount installations.
1. To mount the AP on the wall, use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the mounting holes on the bracket.
2. Use a 0.1360-in. [3.4772 mm] bit to drill a pilot hole at the mounting hole locations you marked.
3. Locate the pilot holes, insert a anchors(not included) into each mounting hole, and tighten.
4. Place the mounting bracket over the faster holes and then use screws up to 6 mm in diameter and at least 1 - 1/4 inch length (not included) to tighten it flush
to the wall
The AP is now ready to be mounted on the wall.
Note: It is recommended that the CW9163E be mounted to a wall or solid ceiling using the mounting plate for physical security reasons.
