Cisco Aironet Access Point Deployment Guide
Instead of wall‐mounting APs with internal antennas, you can:
Use the AP 3600e with dipoles or patch antennas.
Use an optional wall mount bracket, such as the Oberon P/N 1029‐00, that puts the AP 3600i or
the AP 3500e into a horizontal orientation. (See Figure 21.) Use this Oberon bracket unless you
have a hotspot, kiosk, or small venue scenario and roaming is not an issue.

Color
To change the color of an AP, use colored vinyl tape or purchase a colored plastic cover from Oberon
(see Figure 22). The Oberon cover can also be used to hide the Cisco logo or hide the LED. Do not paint
the AP, since that voids the warranty.
