Insert a wall anchor into each mounting hole, and tap the wall anchor with a rubber hammer until it is flush with the wall surface as shown in Figure Figure 4 Inserting a wall anchor Align the holes in the wall-mounting bracket with the anchors and insert screws through the installation holes into the wall anchors as shown in Figure Adjust the position of the wall-mounting bracket and tighten the screws.
Mount the AP on the hook on the wall-mounting bracket. See callout 1 in Figure Pull down the AP until it clicks into place. See callout 2 in Figure Figure 6 Mounting the AP to the wall mounting bracket Mounting the AP to a T-rail IMPORTANT: The width of the T-rail must be in the range of 16 mm to 28 mm (0.63 in to 1.10 in).

Figure 9 Attaching the T-rail holder to the T-rail Tighten the four M3 × 8 screws on the two clip holders. Verify that the T-rail holder is attached to the T-rail. Hook the mounting clip (see callout 3 in Figure 10) of the wall-mounting bracket to the mounting hook (see callout 2 in Figure...
Mounting the AP on a ceiling CAUTION: Verify that the AP is secured to the mounting bracket to avoid falloff. • Do not use this method to mount the AP to a location made of low-intensity materials such as a plaster •...
Figure 13 Local power supply connection Connecting the AP to a PoE power supply CAUTION: Identify the marks for the network port and console port to avoid connection mistakes. When you apply 802.3af PoE power supply, connect one end of the network cable to the network port on the AP, and the other end to an Ethernet port on a PoE-capable device (for example, a PoE-capable Ethernet switch).
