Note

The 37201 metal mounting bracket ships with indoor WiNG access points. If you do not have the 37201 metal bracket, order it separately.
Attach the 37201 bracket to the wall before installing the WNGADAPT adapter. The 37201 main mounting bracket ships with the following items:
  • One 37201 main mounting bracket
  • Two Philips pan-head screws
  • Two screw-in anchors
    Note

    Note

    For concrete wall installations, you must provide screws and screw-in anchors.
  1. Use the metal mounting bracket as a template and mark and drill two mounting holes.
    Note

    Note

    The four bracket feet and the engraved bracket arrows must be pointing up.

  2. Attach the screw-in anchors to the mounting holes.
    Note

    Note

    Plastic screws and screw-in anchors are for drywall and metal screws and screw-in anchors are for drywall or wood wall installations.

    For concrete wall installations, use a masonry anchor which slips into a drilled hole and expands as the bolt is tightened. Masonry anchors are not provided with the #37201 bracket.

  3. Place the metal bracket over the mounting holes and run the LAN cable through the large center hole on the metal mounting bracket.
  4. Attach the bracket using two pan-head screws for drywall, wood wall, or metal installations.

    Masonry anchors have integral threaded studs. If you are attaching the 37201 bracket to a concrete wall, then the anchor studs must protrude through the holes where a hex nut is tightened.

The WNGADAPT plate ships with two parts:
  • One WNGADAPT circular plastic twist part
  • One WNGADAPT metal plate

Procedure

  1. With the WNGADAPT metal plate engraved arrows pointing up, place the WNGADAPT metal plate over the 37201 metal mounting bracket.

  7. Ensure that the access point center recess area aligns onto the plastic twist center post.
  8. Rotate the access point 1/6 of a turn clockwise until it clicks into place.
  9. Insert the LAN cable into the RJ45 connector on top of the access point.
    If there is a LAN cable PoE, the access point starts a boot cycle.
    Note
