Surface Mount

You can use the flat mounting plate to attach the AP330 or AP350 to any surface that supports its weight
(AP330: 1.5 lb or 0.68 kg; AP350: 2.375 lb or 1.08 kg), and to which you can screw or nail the plate. First, mount
the plate to the surface, and then attach the device to the plate, as shown in
Figure 10 Mounting the AP on a wall

of the plate extending away from the surface,
attach the mounging plate to a secure object
such as a wall, ceiling, post, or beam.
Cut or drill a hole in the space not covered by

the L-shaped mounting plate, pass the cables
through to the AP, and connect them. (You can
also run the cables along the wall to the AP
instead of through a hole.)
Depending on how the device is powered and
how it connects to the network, connect a power
cable and one or two Ethernet cables. (The
cables are not shown in this illustration.)
