Note: The wood screws and screw-in anchors come in a separate plastic bag.

  1. Using the AH-ACC-BKT-AX-TB mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill two mounting holes.

  2. Attach the bracket to the wall using two M3.5 pan head wood screws.
    Use push-in anchors or screw-in anchors for drywall or plastic board installations on vertical walls.
    Note: Screw-in anchors must be used for ceiling installations.

  3. Attach the access point to the bracket by aligning the red dot on the bracket and the access point.

  4. Press and rotate the access point 1/8 turn clockwise until it clicks into place on the accessory.
    Note: For wall installation, the ‘E’ logo must be on the left side of the access point as shown in Figure 1.

  5. Attach the Cat5e RJ45 cable to the ETH0 port on the access point.
