Surface Mount - Black Box SmartPath LWN602A User Manual

3.5.4 Surface Mount

You can use the mounting plate to attach the SmartPath AP to any surface that supports its weight, and to which you can screw
or nail the plate. First, mount the plate to the surface. Then, through one of the two large openings in the plate, make a hole in
the wall so that you can pass the cables through to the SmartPath AP.
NOTE: You can tie the cables to the tie points on the mounting plate to prevent them from being pulled out of their connections
accidentally.
Finally, attach the device to the plate, and connect the cables, as shown in Figure 3-22.

1. With the two wings at the sides
of the plate extending away from
the surface, attach the mounting
plate to a secure object such as a
wall or beam. Use #8 screws
for the oblong holes, and #10
for the larger round ones.
2. Cut or drill a hole through one of
the openings in the mounting plate
to pass the cables through to the
SmartPath AP.
3. Insert the tabs on the mounting
plate into the slots on the underside
of the SmartPath AP. Then push the
SmartPath AP downward to lock it
in place.
4. Connect the cables to the
SmartPath AP.
Depending on the deploy-
ment, you might connect one
or two Ethernet cables and a
power cable.
NOTE: There are a variety of holes through which you
can screw or nail the plate in place. Choose the
two or three that best suit the object to which
you are attaching it.
