Vertical Mounting
To vertically mount an AP100:
1.
Mark the location for the two AP mounting screws. They must be 4 ½ inches apart, center-to-
center, one above the other. If you are not using plastic wall anchors, you must center the
mounting screws on a wall stud. If you do not center the mounting screws on a wall stud, you must
use plastic wall anchors.
2.
Drill holes at the locations you marked:
3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
—
1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
—
3.
If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
4.
Screw in the screws most of the way, so that the screw head is about 1/16 of an inch from the wall.
5.
Mount the AP on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole mounts over the screw
heads and sliding the AP down.
6.
For external antennas, loosen the knurled ring at the base of each antenna (see
the antenna straight up, then retighten the ring.
