Connect the Ethernet cable to the access point Ethernet port or connect the power module's power
cable to the access point 48-VDC connector before attaching the access point to the plate.
Carefully feed the Ethernet or power cable through the notch on the cable security bracket and slide
the access point towards the bracket.
If your access point is connected to Ethernet in-line power, do not connect the local power
module to the access point. Using two power sources on the access point might cause the access
point to shut down to protect internal components and might cause the switch to shut down the
port to which the access point is connected. If your access point shuts down, you must remove
all power and reconnect only a single power source.
The keyhole clips on each side of the mounting plate are offset and can only be positioned in one
direction onto the access point.
The 5-GHz antennas and antenna cables have a blue dot or blue label. Connect only antennas or
antenna cables with blue dots or labels to the access point's 5-GHz antenna connectors.
Connect a CAT 5 Ethernet cable to the access point Ethernet port.
If using local power, insert the power module's power cable into the access point's 48-VDC power
port.
If your access point is connected to in-line power, do not connect the power module to the access
point. Using two power sources on the access point might cause the access point to shut down
to protect internal components and might cause the switch to shut down the port to which the
access point is connected. If your access point shuts down, you must remove all power and
reconnect only a single power source.
