Mounting The Access Point - Cisco Catalyst IW9165D Hardware Installation Manual

Mounting the Access Point

We recommend that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device
MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless
network.
Mounting the Access Point
This section provides instructions to mount the AP. Personnel mounting the AP must have knowledge of the
wireless AP, bridging techniques, and grounding methods.
Installation Options
The IW9165D Access Point can be wall or pole mounted. There are two optional mounting kits: a fixed
mounting kit (AIR-ACC1530-PMK1=) and a tiltable mounting kit (IW-ACC-PMK1=).

Access Point Mounting Orientation
The access point can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface. When mounting on a vertical surface,
you must ensure that the access point is oriented with the LED indicators pointing down. This positioning
allows LEDs to be visible to someone on the ground below the access point.
By using the tiltable mounting bracket (Cisco PID: IW-ACC-PMK1=), IW9165D can be mounted in 45°
angle other than vertical installation. There are three arrows on the front of the access point. You can choose
to mount the access point with one of the these arrows pointing up by the tilt functionality of the mounting
bracket.
