Open Mesh A42 Quick Start Manual

Ethernet or junction box mount
This access point can be mounted to any US or European-style
junction box for secure installations in hotel and resort guest
rooms, dorms, care facilities and more.
Remove the rear door and outdoor seal from the bottom of
the access point. Attach the universal mounting plate with the
smooth side against the wall to a junction box using the desig-
nated screw holes. Connect the small Ethernet cable (included)
to the female connection in the wall, then pull it through the
mounting plate and plug into Ethernet 1 for 802.3af PoE or
Ethernet 2 for 12-24v passive PoE. Connect any pass-through
device to the unused Ethernet port and position the cable in
the bottom channel of the access point. Next, place the access
point over the mounting plate and slide down until it locks into
place.
To unlock, insert a small, flat screwdriver into the hole on the
side of the access point. Slide the access point until it disen-
gages from the mounting plate.

Outdoor mount
1.
This access point can be configured as an outdoor model and
mounted to any wall or pole. This configuration protects against
the sun, rain and dust.
Remove the rear door and outdoor seal from the bottom of
the access point. Attach the universal mounting plate to any
outdoor wall or pole using screws or zip ties (not included). The
small tabs should be at the top of the plate so the cable exits
through the bottom of the access point.
Open the slit in the side of the rubber gasket and place the Eth-
ernet cable through the hole. Plug the cable into Ethernet 1 for
802.3af PoE or Ethernet 2 for 12-24v passive PoE. Ensure the
second hole still has its rubber plug in place. Place the rubber

gasket into the channel surrounding the ports on the access
point. Place the rear cover on the access point and snap into
place. Finally, place the access point over the mounting plate
and slide down until it locks into place.
To unlock, insert a small, flat screwdriver into the hole on the
side of the access point. Slide the access point until it disen-
gages from the mounting plate.
