Step 4
Align the AP-plate end of the bracket with the screw holes in the back of the access point.
Step 5
Fasten the bracket plate to the AP by using four M8 x12 mm bolts and a 10 mm box or socket wrench.
Torque the bolts to 40 lbf-in.
Step 6
Using the 90.0 mm M8 long screw and the hardware supplied with the pivoting bracket, bolt the AP and
bracket plate, to the wall plate mounted on the wall. See
tighten the assembly.
Note
Step 7
Pivot the AP as required, and then fully tighten the 90.0 mm M8 long screw using a 13 mm wrench.
Step 8
Proceed with installing antennas (only for external antenna models), connecting the data cables,
grounding the access point, powering and configuring the access point.
You can use an exterior-grade plywood backboard to mount the access point to stucco, cement,
or drywall.
The mounting wall, attaching screws, and wall anchors must be able to support a 50-lb (22.7 kg)
static weight.
The access point should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
