About this task
The ACC-BKT-AX-JB accessory is used when you need to install the access point on an
indoor junction box. The ACC-BKT-AX-JB access has two parts:

the junction box (also called the sheet-metal junction box hole plate)
- A plastic part that attaches to the metal part and the access point (also
called the plastic twist plate)
Procedure

Remove the screws holding the
junction box cover plate.
-
Remove the LAN cable from the
cover plate.

Bring the LAN cable through the
center hole of the metal bracket part.
The LAN wire must be in-between
the metal part and the plastic part during installation.
-
Place the ACC-BKT-AX-JB
accessory metal part, with the bracket holes against the cover plate of the
box.
-
Using the screws removed from
the cover plate, find the bracket holes that align with the junction box screw
holes.
Important
The text
for the holes must be normally readable.

Using the cover plate screws, attach the metal bracket part to the junction
box.
-
Place the plastic part on the
metal part, rotate it ¼th to 1/3rd turn clockwise until you hear it click in
place as the lock is set.
