Fortinet AP433 Installation Manual page 66

Insert the cone into the circular portion of the bracket attached to the AP. The two should
3.
fit somewhat snugly, although a screw assembly will be required to hold them in place.
Run one of the long screws provided in the package down through the hole that runs
4.
through both portions of the bracket. The head of the screw should fit into the hexagonal
slot on the top of the bracket assembly.
On the other end of the screw (i.e., the one that doesn't have the hexagonal head), slide a
5.
flat washer and then a lock washer into place. The flat washer should be against the base
of the mounting assembly.
Screw one of the hexagonal nuts into place on top of the two washers. Once tightened,
6.
the nut should force the lock washer into place and the two bracket components should
be locked together.
At this point, locate the third portion of the bracket. It should be shaped like a small, wide
7.
'v'. This part will be used to brace against the backside of the pole.
Place the opening of the 'v' bracket against the pole and hold the OAP433e (with attached
8.
bracket assembly) up opposite it. The holes on either end of the 'v' bracket should align
with the two middle holes on the 'v' portion of the bracket attached to the AP.
Slide the two remaining long screws from the package contents into the corresponding
9.
holes. The hexagonal head of each screw should be on the bracket end that faces the AP
(i.e., on the end that is already attached to the AP itself).
Again, slide a flat washer followed by a lock washer and a hexagonal nut onto the bottom
10.
of each screw.
Tighten the securing nuts just enough to hold the bracket to the pole. (The bracket may
11.
need to be rotated around the pole during the alignment process.)
Rotate/orient the AP as desired, then tighten the nuts securely in place.
12.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the controller inside the building and verify that all antennas
13.
are securely connected.
When fully deployed, the Fortinet logo on the top of the AP should be right-side up. This will ensure
that the Ethernet cable is oriented downwards when the entire bracket is assembled. Make sure that
the AP is properly oriented before tightening everything in place on the pole.
Mounting OAP433e with the Wall-Mounting Bracket
Attach the bracket to a wall with the flat side flush against the wall. Follow these steps to
mount the unit to a wall using the wall-mounting bracket:
Prior to attaching the bracket to the AP, it is important to drill the required holes in the wall
1.
and insert the sheetrock anchors provided in the AP package. One of the three included
bracket components consists of a circular portion (with a hollow cone in the center) con-
nected to a wide 'v'-shaped portion. Use the 'v'-shaped portion as a guide.
