Surface Mount - Aerohive Networks AP121 Hardware Reference Manual

Surface Mount

You can attach an AP110 or AP120 to any flat surface that supports its weight. First, attach two screws to the
surface. Then, make a hole in the wall a few inches or centimeters above the screws so that you can pass
the cables through the wall to the AP. Finally, attach the device to the screws, and connect the cables (see
Figure 8).
Figure 8 Mounting the AP on a wall
Instead of passing the cables through a hole in the wall, you can also simply run them along the wall from
the port side of the AP, which is located at the top of the device when it is mounted on a wall.
You can use a Kensington lock to secure the AP to a stationary object. For information, see
"Locking the AP" on page
Hardware Reference Guide
Position two #6 or #8 screws 2" (5 cm)
1
apart and fasten them to a secure object,
such as a wall, post, or beam.
2
Cut or drill a hole in the wall 1 - 2"
(2.5 - 5 cm) above the screws to pass the
cables through to the AP.
3
Position the AP so that the screws enter
the two upper keyhole-shaped
slots on the underside of the AP. Then
push the AP downward to lock it in place.
4 Connect the cables to the AP. Depending
on the power source, you might connect
just one Ethernet cable or an Etnernet
cable and a power cord.
