Install The Ap; Attach The Mount Cradle - Cisco Meraki MR46 Installation Manual

3. If being used in a mesh deployment, the AP should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices. A Cisco
Partner can help ensure that your AP placement is ideal.

Install the AP

For most mounting scenarios, the access point mount cradle provides a quick, simple, and flexible means of mounting
your device. The installation should be done in two steps. First, install the mount cradle to your selected location. Then,
attach the AP to the mount cradle.

Attach the Mount Cradle

The access point 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 AP be mounted to a wall or solid ceiling using the mount cradle for physical security reasons.
Drop Ceiling Mount using Mount Cradle

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
