Determine Power Requirements
Your power requirements will vary, depending on which AP300 radios are deployed and what mode is
used. See below.
Table 3: AP300 Power Options
AP300 Configuration
1 radio – a/b/g mode
1 radio – n-mode
2 radios – 1 a/b/g mode, 1 n mode
2 radios – both n mode
2 radios – both a/b/g mode
Installation Requirements
An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP300 to be mounted on the wall and over junc-
tion boxes or molly bolts. There are holes for passing the PoE Ethernet or external power supply cable
through the bracket if the bracket is mounted on a junction box. A template of this bracket is included
in Appendix E of this guide.
The AP300 has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP300 with a standard security cable, such as
those used to secure laptop computers.
These two kits can be used to mount the AP300 from the ceiling:
