Mount The Access Point To A Beam - Extreme Networks ExtremeWireless AP510i Installation Manual

Mount the Access Point to a Beam

Procedure
1. Remove the screws holding the junction box coverplate and remove the LAN cable from the
coverplate if necessary.
2. Line up the bracket holes on the junction box and ensure that they align. If the holes do not align,
then use the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket.
3. Using the holes aligned together or the new ones drilled, attach the bracket to the junction box
using the screws removed from the junction box earlier. Do not over tighten.
4. Connect the LAN or Ethernet cable to the AP.
5. Align the keyhole slots and posts and slide the AP onto the bracket until you hear it lock in place.
Mount the Access Point to a Beam
About This Task
The access point can be mounted onto a beam using a beam clip accessory (BRKT-000147A-01) to the
main mounting bracket.
Before You Begin
•
The beam must be able to support the AP in all environmental conditions
•
The beam should be flat
Before attaching the AP onto a beam, verify that:
•
Beam attachment area is at least 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) wide and as long as the AP's largest dimension
•
Beam mounting surface is less than 0.650 in. (16.5 mm) thick
To attach an AP to a beam, attach a beam clip (accessory BRKT-000147A-01) to the main mounting
bracket:
Procedure
1. Attach the adapter to the mounting bracket by using a twisting motion.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the AP.
3. Place the adapter on a beam in such a way that there is enough space between the screw and clamp
to be tightened.

Note
When you line up the holes, the locking tab on the WALL04 bracket must be pointing
down and the junction box must be fully covered by the bracket. The bracket must be
square to the rest of the room walls and the two holes that are being used must be on the
opposite side of large center hole on the bracket.
Note
If the holes that you need to use are not near the corners of the WALL04 bracket, break
off the corner to decrease bracket's visibility once the AP is installed.
Caution
Over tightening the screws will cause the bracket to bend. If the bracket bends, you will
not be able to align and slide the AP onto the keyhole posts.
