If any of these items are missing, contact your Oberon representative.
The Oberon Model 900-00 is designed to surface mount the
Aruba and Cisco Enterprise wireless access points.
Step 1 - Determine the location where the access point will
be installed. Ideally, the location should be in an area where
the mounted access point will be free of obstructions and
high up on the wall or on the ceiling. To remove the cover,
first loosen the screws in the captive nut enough to allow the
cover to rotate slightly, then loosen the screw on the slotted
end of the cover a couple turns to allow the cover to be lifted
off the base. Do not entirely remove the screws as this will
make re-assembly easier after the access point has been
installed.
Surface Mount Over Outlet
The mount base can be installed in one of two ways. Ideally,
a data outlet will first be installed in the location where the
access point is mounted. For this type installation, remove
the data outlet's cover plate by removing the two screws
holding it in place. Using the screws previously removed,
place the base of the Oberon mount over the outlet, with the
captured screws toward the bottom of the base, and screw it
in place using either the center set of obround holes (for a
single gang data box) or the outer set of obround holes (for a
double gang box) (Ref. figure 1). Optionally, the mount base
can be rotated 90° and installed over the outlet plate without
having to remove the outlet cover. In this type installation,
use screws that match the wall surface material and attach
the mount base to the wall surface through the keyhole
openings in the back of the base.
S/B Surface Mount with Biscuit Jack
If no data outlet is available, the base can be surface
mounted directly to a wall or ceiling using screws (not
supplied) inserted into the four (4) keyhole openings located
on the outer corners of the base. First, remove the knockout
to provide a place to bring in the Ethernet cables. Use the
base to mark the screw locations on the wall or ceiling and
attach the base. A surface mount box or biscuit jack and
equipment cord can be mounted inside the Model 900. Use
an adhesive backed surface mount box. Consider bend
radius of permanent link cable and equipment cord when
attaching surface mount box. (Ref. Figure 2)

Step 2 - (ARUBA INSTALLATIONS) To install an Aruba access point, align the round bosses on the back of the access point
with the opening on the cover of the Oberon mount. Slide the access point down and secure in place using the #8-32 screw or
plunger. Install the screw into the center nut to prevent the access point from being dislodged (Ref. Figure 3).
Figure 3 - Aruba Installation
(CISCO 2600, 2700, 3600, 3700 INSTALLATIONS) To install a Cisco access point, place the access point's mounting feet
into the keyhole slots, with the AP's Ethernet ports toward the large rectangular opening, and slide the access point down.
Secure in place using a #8-32 screw. Install the screw into the nut located near the edge (Ref. Figure 4).
