Mount AP300 Horizontally on a Shelf
When mounting an AP300 horizontally, remove the mounting bracket. Be sure to position the antennas
vertically when an AP300 sits on a surface. See
Mount AP300 Vertically on a Wall
Note: If you are replacing AP150s, you can use the existing brackets: the AP150 and AP300 use the
same bracket. If you are replacing AP300s, the AP300 bracket can be attached to the old bracket with
included shoulder screws; you don't have to remove the old brackets. This bracket will also mount
seamlessly into the Proxim AP4000 bracket and standard Cisco brackets.
To mount an AP300 on a wall:
1. Using the bracket holes as a guide, mark the location on the wall for the two AP bracket mounting
screws. If possible, center the mounting screws on a wall stud. If you do not center the mounting
screws on a wall stud, use plastic wall anchors.
2. Drill holes at the locations you marked:
3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
—
1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
—
3. If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
4. Screw in the screws most of the way.
5. Mount the bracket on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole mounts over the screw
heads and sliding the bracket down.
6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the switch and to the AP300 Ethernet port shown in
7. If you are not using a PoE device, connect an external power supply to the power connector and
plug it into the wall.
Mount AP300 Below a Suspended Ceiling
The optional suspended ceiling mounting kit allows the AP300 mounting bracket to attach to suspended
ceiling T-rails (see Figure
To comply with NEC code, attach a grounding wire to any of the screws used to attach the AP300
Note:
to the mounting bracket.
