Installing the AP-8533 Access Point

About this task

Before installing an AP-8533 Access Point, verify the following:

  • You are using the correctly rated power solution for the AP-8533 (either the AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR Power Injector or the PWR-BGA48V45W0WW external power supply).
  • Do not to install the AP-8533 in wet or dusty areas.
  • Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 32°F to 122°F or 0°C to 50°C.

An AP-8533 Access Point mounts either on a wall (with M 3.5 x 0.6 x 23 MM pan head screws and mounting bracket or equivalent) or on a suspended ceiling T-bar.

To prepare for the installation:
