Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Step 3
Fasten the pivot bracket base plate to the pole using either one set of the adjustable band clamps or the
screw clamp (the screw clamp can be used only on poles that are not more than 3 inches in diameter).
Step 4
Position the pole clamp bracket on the pole as needed before tightening the steel bands clamps or the
screw clamp. Tighten only enough to hold the bracket base plate in place, so as to prevent it from sliding
along the pole. Fully tighten only after the access point is mounted and positioned.
Step 5
Align the AP-plate end of the bracket with the screw holes in the back of the access point.
Step 6
Fasten the bracket plate to the AP by using four M8 x12 mm bolts and a 10 mm box or socket wrench.
Torque the bolts to 40 lbf-in.
Step 7
Using the 90.0 mm M8 long screw and the hardware supplied with the pivoting bracket, bolt the AP and
bracket plate, to the base plate mounted on the pole. See
Note
Step 8
Pivot and position the AP as required, and then fully tighten the 90.0 mm M8 long screw using a 13 mm
wrench, and then tighten the clamps on the pole.
Step 9
Proceed with installing antennas (only for external antenna models), connecting the data cables,
grounding the access point, powering and configuring the access point.
The access point should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
