Mount the Access Point to a Junction Box

About this task

You can mount the access point to a junction box using the #37201 main mounting bracket that comes with the unit or a WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket, which must be purchased separately.

Note

The junction box models are limited to USA box models when using the #37201 main mounting bracket.

Procedure

Remove the screws holding the junction box coverplate and remove the LAN cable from the coverplate if necessary.
Line up the bracket holes on the junction box and ensure that they align. If the holes do not align, then use the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket.

Note
When you line up the holes, the locking tab on the WALL04 bracket must be pointing down and the junction box must be fully covered by the bracket. The bracket must be square to the rest of the room walls and the two holes that are being used must be on the opposite side of large center hole on the bracket.

Note
If the holes that you need to use are not near the corners of the WALL04 bracket, break off the corner to decrease bracket‘s visibility once the AP is installed.
Using the holes aligned together or the new ones drilled, attach the bracket to the junction box using the screws removed from the junction box earlier. Do not over tighten.

Caution
Over tightening the screws will cause the bracket to bend. If the bracket bends, you will not be able to align and slide the AP onto the keyhole posts.
Connect the LAN or Ethernet cable to the AP.
Align the keyhole slots and posts and slide the AP onto the bracket until you hear it lock in place.
