To mount the access point onto a vertical pole, follow these steps:
Step 1
Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the access point. You can attach the access point to a
pole having a diameter of 2 to 8 inches (5.1 to 20.1 cm).
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 (see
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 back side of the access point. 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 access point into the bracket keyhole slots. Check to be sure that the access
point is properly seated in the slots (see
Note
Step 6
Using a 10 mm wrench, tighten the four bolts that connect the access point to the bracket to a torque of
40 lbf-in.
Step 7
Locate the access point to the final position. Tighten the band clamps with the wrench so that the access
point does not slide on the pole. Ensure that the clamps are tight enough to not let the AP move.
