Mount the Access Point to a Beam

About this task

The access point can be mounted onto a beam using a beam clip accessory (BRKT-000147A-01) to the main mounting bracket.

Before you begin

  • The beam must be able to support the AP in all environmental conditions
  • The beam should be flat

Before attaching the AP onto a beam, verify that:

  • Beam attachment area is at least 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) wide and as long as the AP‘s largest dimension
  • Beam mounting surface is less than 0.650 in. (16.5 mm) thick

To attach an AP to a beam, attach a beam clip (accessory BRKT-000147A-01) to the main mounting bracket:

Procedure

  1. Attach the adapter to the mounting bracket by using a twisting motion.
  2. Attach the mounting bracket to the AP.
  3. Place the adapter on a beam in such a way that there is enough space between the screw and clamp to be tightened.
  4. Use the screw and clamp on the top of the adapter to secure the AP in place on the beam.
  5. Insert the Ethernet plug into the AP.
