Attach the mount cradle
The MR42E mount cradle can be used to install your access point in a wide range of scenarios: wall or solid ceiling,
below a drop ceiling, on various electrical junction boxes.
The mount cradle contains a variety of hole patterns that are customized for each installation scenario. The mounting
template (included inbox with mount cradle) should be used to drill holes for wall mounts and also to identify the correct
hole patterns in the mount cradle that should be used for each type of mount. The included mount cradle
template shows the hole patterns that should be used for each type of mount.
Wall or Solid Ceiling Mount Using mount cradle
Using included wall anchors and screws, attach the mount cradle to your mounting wall or ceiling. It is
recommended that the MR42E be mounted to a wall or solid ceiling using the mount cradle for physical security
reasons.
Drop ceiling mount using mount cradle
To mount your MR42E on a drop ceiling T-rail, use the included drop ceiling mounting accessory kit. The
accessory kit can be used to mount to most 9/16", 15/16" or 1 ½" T-rails. The kit contains:
• Drop ceiling mounting clips with set screws
• 6-32x4 mm screws
• 6-32x7 mm screws only used for recessed rail mount (uncommon)
