Installation Guide Installing the AP Safety Precautions During Installation This AP can be mounted on either a wall or a pole. For pole mounting, the pole diameter should be between 35 mm (1.38 in.) and 80 mm (3.15 in.). If the pole falls outside this range, use a hose clamp of the appropriate size. The pole should also have a wall thickness of at least 2.5 mm (0.10 in.).

Installation Guide Installing the AP (2) Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN/2.5G/PoE port, and press the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet cable holder. (3) Install the rear cover.
Installation Guide Installing the AP 3.4.2 Mounting the AP on a Wall Use the supplied mounting bracket, wall anchors, and Philips pan head screws to mount the AP to a wall. (1) Drill two screw holes on the wall, with a distance of 54 ± 0.5 mm (2.13 ± 0.02 in.). Then, insert a wall anchor into each screw hole.
Installation Guide Installing the AP (3) Align the slots on the back of the AP with the square feet on the mounting bracket, and slide the AP down into the mounting bracket slowly to ensure that the AP is secured. 3.4.3 Mounting the AP on a Pole (1) Take out the supplied metal hose clamp, and thread it through the square holes on the back of the AP.
Installation Guide Installing the AP Bundling Cables 3.5.1 Precautions The power cord and other cables should be neatly bundled. Ensure that the cables have natural bends or bends of large radius at the connectors. Do not bind twisted pair cables too tightly, as this may compromise their service life and transmission performance.
