Table 3: Materials Needed to Mount the AP on a Vertical Pole using AIR-MNT-VERT1= Kit
Materials Required
One wall mount bracket
Four M6 x12 mm hex head bolts
Two stainless steel band clamps (adjustable 2 to 5 inch (51 to 127 mm)
10–mm box-end wrench
Outdoor rated shielded Ethernet cable
Ground lug (provided with the access point)
Ground block and rod
Crimping tool for ground lug, Panduit CT-720 with CD-720-1 die
#6 AWG ground wire
Procedure
Step 1
Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the AP. You can attach the AP to a pole having a diameter
of 2 to 5 inch (51 to 127 mm).
Step 2
Hold the bracket up against the pole and slide the two band straps through the top and bottom sets of mounting
slots on the mounting bracket.
Step 3
Wrap the band straps around the pole, lock them, and then lightly tighten the clamps using a wrench. Only
tighten them enough to keep the bracket from sliding down the pole
Step 4
Screw an M6 bolt into each of the four bolt holes on the backside of the AP. Do not screw the bolt in all the
way. Leave a gap of about 0.13 inch (3.3 mm).
Step 5 Position the four bolts on the AP into the bracket keyhole slots. Ensure that the AP is seated correctly in the
slots.
Note
Step 6 Using a 10–mm wrench, tighten the four bolts that connect the AP to the bracket to 40 lbf-in (4.5 Nm) of
torque.
Step 7
Locate the AP to its final position. Tighten the band clamps with the wrench so that the AP does not slide on
the pole. Ensure that the clamps are tight enough not to let the AP move.
Step 8
Proceed with installing antennas (only for external antenna models), connecting the data cables, grounding
the AP, powering, and configuring the AP.
The AP should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
