Chapter 2: Installing the Wireless Access Point
Reviewing Installation Guidelines
40
Review the following guidelines before installing the access point:
The ceiling or wall mounting surface must be of proper material to
accommodate the screws and strong enough to support the weight
of the access point and cables. (Refer to Table 4 on page 59 for
the product weight.)
You can install the access point on a wall where Cisco or Fortinet
bracket has already been installed. You need a bracket converter.
See "the BRKT-CONV-AP1 Bracket Converter Installation Guide"
for more information.
Connect the Ethernet cable(s) and power cord (if applicable) to the
access point before installing the product on the ceiling or wall.
Depending on the installation location, connecting or removing
cables may be difficult after the device is installed.
Verify that the Ethernet cable(s) is long enough to connect to its
destination port(s) before installing the access point. Once the
installation is complete, it is physically difficult to change the
cables.
If the wireless access point is powered by an AC adapter, verify
that an AC power outlet is within six feet of the planned installation
site. (Refer to "Power Specifications" on page 60 for the AC
adapter specifications.)
Refer to Figure 12 on page 41 for approved orientations of the
wireless access point on a table, wall, or ceiling.
