on a wall
on a standard electric receptacle box
on a suspended ceiling T-rail
on a horizontal surface
Position the mounting bracket on the wall, and mark the two corner holes.
The orientation shown in the following figure is the most secure position
for mounting the access point. Look for the marking "THIS SIDE UP" on
the bracket. Do not mount the access point with its ports and connectors
pointing down.
To mount the access point on a plastered brick or concrete wall, first drill
two holes 22 mm deep and 3.5 mm in diameter, and press the two included
wall plugs firmly into the drilled holes until they are flush with the surface
of the wall.
Position the mounting bracket over the drilled holes, then insert the two
5/8-inch number 12 wood screws in the corner holes and tighten down the
screws.
There are four recess slots on the bottom of the access point that match
up with four protrusions on the mounting bracket, as shown in the
following figures.
Slide the access point down onto the bracket so that the four protrusions
on the bracket enter the four recess slots on the bottom of the access
point. Push the access point firmly down onto the bracket until clicks into
a locked position.
To prevent unauthorized removal of the access point, you can use a
Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the
access point to an immovable object.
