Access Point Mounting Orientation

Access Point Mounting Orientation
Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Points are only intended to be installed vertically with
antennas facing up. Any other mounting orientation will compromise the IP66/67 and type 4X ingress ratings
required for safety and hazardous locations compliance.
The access point is oriented with the system LED pointing down and the access cover facing out. This
positioning allows the LEDs to be visible to someone on the ground below the access point, and the I/O
interfaces are on the bottom to minimize moisture ingress in case ports are not adequately sealed.
Note
Omnidirectional antennas are vertically polarized and should be mounted vertically.
The following figures show the dimension of the access point:
