About this task

Mounting the AP to a flat ceiling requires the WS-MBI-WALL04 (#30516) bracket, two Philips Pan-head screws, and two screw-in anchors. They must be purchased separately.

Procedure

  1. 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

    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.
