on a wall
on a horizontal surface
Position the mounting bracket on the wall, and mark the holes.
To mount the access point on a plastered brick or concrete wall, first drill
four holes 22 mm deep and 3.5 mm in diameter, and press the included
four wall plugs firmly into the drilled holes until they are flush with the
surface of the wall.
Set the four 5/8-inch number 12 wood screws in the holes, leaving about
3 mm (0.12 in.) clearance from the wall.
Position the mounting bracket over the wall screws, slide the bracket onto
the screws, and then tighten down the screws.
Slide the access point into the protruding slots on the back of the
mounting bracket. The two retaining latches will slip into place over the
back edge of the access point.
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.
