Mounting the AP on a Dry Wood Wall or Solid Flat Ceiling; Option 1: Using the Mounting Bracket

About this task

Mounting the AP7632 to a dry/wood wall or a solid flat ceiling requires mounting bracket, two Philips pan-head screws, and screw-in anchors, which is included in the box.

Note

Remove the main bracket from the AP to use it as a template.

Procedure

Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the hole centers on the wall.

Note
The four feet of the mounting bracket must be horizontal and pointing to the right and the flat part of the bracket must retouching the surface it is being attached to.
Drill two holes 81mm (3.200”) apart from each other on the wall where you want to mount the AP.
Insert the screws into the holes of the mounting bracket. Use the screw-in anchors if needed.
Insert the Ethernet cable's RJ45 connector into the LAN1/GE1 port.
Slide the AP onto the bracket‘s four feet. Ensure that the AP is secured in place and tightened.

Option 2: Mounting the AP to the Wall using two screws

About this task

The AP7632 can be mounted directly onto the wall without the muting bracket by using two screws.

Procedure

Remove the mounting bracket attached to the back of the AP.
Drill two holes 104mm (4.100") apart from each other on the wall.
Insert the screws into the holes. Use the screw-in anchors if needed.

Note
Leave 1/8" gap between the screw head and the wall.
Insert the Ethernet cable‘s RJ45 connector into the GE1 port. Attach the optional DC adaptor if there is no PoE on the Ethernet cable.
Insert the keyholes of the AP onto the screws and slide it down till it is firmly held by the screw heads. If the AP is loose, unmount the AP and decrease the distance between the screw head and the wall. Remount the AP.

Option 3: Using the Optional Flat Metal Indoor Bracket

About this task

The AP7632 can be installed to the wall or any solid surface using an optional flat metal indoor bracket (ordering Part Number: 37210) for easy installation.

Procedure

Attach the flat metal indoor bracket to the main mounting bracket.
Hold the AP to the surface to which it needs to be attached and use the optional bracket‘s end holes as a template to mark the attachment holes.
Drill two holes on the wall where you want to mount the AP.
Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the back of the AP.
Hold the AP, insert and tighten the 2 screws until you lock it into place.

Option 4: Using an Optional Wall and Box Bracket

About this task

The AP7632 can also be mounted to a flat ceiling or wall using an optional wall and box bracket. This requires the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket (ordering part Number 30516) which needs to be purchased separately.

Note

The slot and lock cuts in the rear of the AP (visible when the main plate is removed) are used for mounting the Wall and Box bracket. The unlock tab on the bracket should be pointed up. In this position, the AP7632 can be mounted with the antennas facing upward or downward.

Procedure

Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the AP.
Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket on a wall/ceiling with the two screws and screw-in anchors.
- Use the WS-MBI-WALL04 as a template and mark the holes to be used to mount the AP. It is recommended to use the holes marked "A" or "B".
- Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and screw-in anchors.
Note
When using the "A" or "B" holes, if the holes are not near the corners of the bracket, you can break off the corner to decrease the bracket's visibility once the AP is installed.
Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the AP.
Insert the AP onto the keyhole posts and slide the AP.
Lock the AP into place at about 1/4 inch.
