The EAP can be mounted into a wall junction box. The junction box should be
pre-installed with a running-in-wall Ethernet cable connected to a PoE switch.
Some common wall junction boxes:
LED
86 mm wall junction box
LAN Ports
A Phillips screwdriver
A PoE switch
Standard EU wall junction box Standard US wall junction box
1. Detach the faceplate of the junction box with a Phillips screwdriver
(demonstrated with an 86 mm wall junction box).
2. Detach the faceplate of the EAP with a screwdriver.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable inside the junction box to an RJ45 plug. Then
connect the cable to the UPLINK+PoE port. Position the Ethernet cable
to ensure it is not strained.
4. Insert the enclosed screws and tighten them with a triangular screwdriver
to secure the mounting bracket.
Note:
Do not over tighten the screws.
If the enclosed screws do not fit the junction box, use the screws attached to the
junction box instead.
5. Press the faceplate of the EAP back into position.
