Mounting the Access Point
The Stratix 5100 WAP comes with a low-profile access point mounting bracket. This bracket can be mounted flush on a
flat surface, or directly onto a ceiling, or onto ceiling grid-work.

Mounting Bracket Description

2 Grounding post
This procedure describes the steps that are required to mount the access point with a mounting bracket on a flat
surface constructed of 19.05 mm (3/4 in.) or thicker plywood by using appropriate fasteners.
TIP Access points perform best when antennas are oriented vertically.
Follow these steps to mount the access point on a solid ceiling or wall.
1. Place the mounting bracket on the surface where you are going to mount the access point.
2. To mark the locations of the mounting holes on the bracket, use the mounting bracket as a template.
Mark all four locations of the wall mounts. Make sure that you have a secure installation. Use adequate
TIP
fasteners to mount the access point and use no fewer than four fasteners.
Do not use plastic wall anchors or the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket for ceiling
IMPORTANT
installations. When mounting the access point on a hard ceiling, use four fasteners capable of
maintaining a minimum pullout force of 9 kg (20 lb).
3. Use a drill to create a pilot hole at the mounting hole locations you marked.
The pilot hole size varies according to the material and thickness you are fastening. Test the material to
TIP
determine the ideal hole size for your mounting application.
4. Drill or cut a cable access hole near and below the location of the mounting bracket cable-access cover large
enough for the Ethernet cable, building ground wire, and power cables.
5. Route the cables through an access hole on the mounting bracket.
6. Use the ground screw to attach the building ground wire to the mounting bracket.
See Grounding the Access Point on page 3 for general grounding instructions.
7. Position the mounting bracket mounting holes (with indents down) over the pilot holes.
8. Insert a fastener into each mounting hole and tighten.
9. Connect the Ethernet and power cables to the access point.
10. Align the access point feet with the large part of the keyhole mounting slots on the mounting plate.
When positioned correctly, the cable access cover fits inside the access-point connector bay.
11. Gently slide the access point onto the mounting-bracket keyhole slots until it clicks into place.

Secure the Access Point with a Standard Security Cable
There are two ways to secure your access point:
• Attach it to an immovable object with a security cable.
• Lock it to the mounting plate with a padlock.
You can secure the access point by installing a standard security cable into the access-point security cable slot.
To install the security cable, follow these steps.
1. Loop the security cable around a nearby immovable object.
2. Insert the key into the security cable lock.
3. Insert the security cable latch into the security cable slot on the access point.
4. Rotate the key right or left to secure the security cable lock to the access point.
5. Remove the key.
Secure the Access Point to the Mounting Plate
Use a padlock (that you provide) to secure your access point to the mounting plate.
Location to attach
a padlock.
Compatible padlocks are Master Lock models 120T or 121T. The cable access cover on the mounting bracket covers the
cable bay area (including the power port, Ethernet port, console port, and the mode button). The cover helps prevent
the installation or removal of the cables or the activation of the mode button.
To install the padlock, follow these steps.
1. With the access point installed on the mounting bracket, insert a padlock into the bracket.
If your access point is mounted to a hard ceiling, the clearance between the mounting bracket and the ceiling
TIP
is small. Work slowly using both hands to position and secure the lock into the mounting bracket.
2. Rotate the lock clockwise and align the bail with the lock body.
3. Grasp the lock and push it into the bail to lock the lock.
Apply Power
Access point power options include:
• Power adapter, Cisco AIR-PWR-B
• PoE power injector/hub, Cisco AIR-PWR-INJ4
• PoE capable switch, such as the Stratix 8000, 5700, 5400, or 5410
Access points mounted in the environmental airspace of as building can be powered by using PoE to comply with
safety regulations.
This product relies on the installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection in the building.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the protective device is rated not greater than: 120V AC, 20 A U.S. (240V AC,
16...20 A international).
This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building
installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.
To apply power with the power adapter, follow these steps.
1. Attach the power cord to AC adapter.
2. Plug the adapter (with the power cord attached) into the Stratix 5100 WAP.
3. Plug the power cord into the outlet.
To apply power with the PoE power injector/hub, follow these steps.
1. Connect the injector to the building network.
2. Connect the injector to the Stratix 5100 WAP.
3. Connect the power adapter to the injector.
To apply power with the PoE capable switch, follow these steps.
1. Connect the Stratix 5100 WAP to the PoE capable switch.
2. Make sure that you are using a port capable of providing PoE.
3. If the Stratix 5100 WAP does not turn on, check the settings on your PoE switch to make sure that the PoE feature is
properly configured.
