Ethernet and power cables. Pass the cables through the hole and attach them to the SmartPath AP.
6. When done, adjust the ceiling tiles back into their former position.
NOTE: You can also mount the SmartPath AP to a solid ceiling—or the underside of any horizontal object such as a cross beam—
using three #6 or #8 screws. Position the three screws in a T-shaped layout: two screws 2" (5 cm) apart from each other
and the third screw center-aligned between them and 4.75" (12 cm) away. Then attach the SmartPath AP to the screws as
explained in Section 4.5.2, Surface Mount.
Locking the SmartPath AP
To lock the SmartPath AP to a secure object, use a Kensington lock and cable. Loop the cable around a securely anchored object,
insert the Kensington lock in the device lock slot in the SmartPath AP, and engage the locking mechanism (Figure 4-7).

4.5.2 Surface Mount

You can attach the SmartPath AP LWN602A to any flat surface that supports its weight. First, attach two screws to the surface.
Then, make a hole in the wall a few inches or centimeters above the screws so that you can pass the cables through the wall to
the SmartPath AP. Finally, attach the device to the screws, and connect the cables (see Figure 4-8).
