Locking your Access Point 500
To prevent theft or damage to your Access Point 500 you can lock the device onto its
position, using a Kensington lock and matching lock cord.
This Kensington lock and cord are not included with your Access Point 500, but available
at your local computer store.
Figure 3-4. Locking the Access Point 500
1.
Put one end of the lock cord around a solid object.
2.
Attach the other end of the locking cord together with the Kensington lock to the
Access Point 500 unit as pictured in Figure 3-4.
If you decided to mount your Access Point 500 to a wall, you can also use the special
screw provided to secure the module to its wall bracket.
This locking option is recommended in public areas or environments where the unit might
be subject to vibrations or earthquakes, but requires you to open the Access Point 500 as
described in "Removing the Cover Plate" on page 3-3.
