3. Mount the Access Point
After you have verified that the access point completes its system initializa-
tion, you are ready to mount the access point in a stable location. The
Access Point 530 can be mounted in these ways:
■ on a wall
■ on a standard electric receptacle box
■ on a suspended ceiling T-rail
■ on a horizontal surface
Wall Mounting
You can mount the access point on a wall as shown in the illustrations on the
next page.
C a u t i o n The access point should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at
least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent.
1. Position the mounting bracket on the wall, and mark the two corner holes.
The orientation shown in the following figure is the most secure position
for mounting the access point. Look for the marking “THIS SIDE UP” on
the bracket. Do not mount the access point with its ports and connectors
pointing down.
2. To mount the access point on a plastered brick or concrete wall, first drill
two holes 22 mm deep and 3.5 mm in diameter, and press the two included
wall plugs firmly into the drilled holes until they are flush with the surface
of the wall.
3. Position the mounting bracket over the drilled holes, then insert the two
5/8-inch number 12 wood screws in the corner holes and tighten down the
screws.
4. There are four recess slots on the bottom of the access point that match
up with four protrusions on the mounting bracket, as shown in the
following figures.
Slide the access point down onto the bracket so that the four protrusions
on the bracket enter the four recess slots on the bottom of the access
point. Push the access point firmly down onto the bracket until clicks into
a locked position.
5. To prevent unauthorized removal of the access point, you can use a
Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the
access point to an immovable object.
