To mount the bracket to a wall:

Procedure

  1. Using the mounting bracket as a guide, choose a location where it is feasible to place the AP‘s center. The location must allow the LAN cables to come out of the wall within the large rectangular hole. Place the bracket against the wall. (The captive screw will be used to lock the AP in place.) Decide which two holes to use to mount the bracket. We recommend using the two holes at the top and the bottom center of the opening. At a minimum, use two holes on opposite sides of the large center opening.
  2. Mark the two hole centers.
  3. For drywall/plasterboard walls, drill two holes using a 1/4” or 6mm diameter drill bit.
  4. For drywall/plasterboard walls, screw the plastic anchors into the wall first and then insert the screws into the anchors.
  5. Insert the bracket over the screw heads and slide the bracket. Ensure that both screws get attached to the bracket.
  6. Tighten the screws to secure the bracket in its place. Torque the screw to 9.0 in-lbs.
  7. Connect the LAN/power to the AP.
  8. Attach the AP to the mounting bracket.
