Mounting the Access Point

Securing the AP (Optional)

FS AP N515 Indoor Access Point - Securing the AP

Remove the screw on the mounting bracket to enable the hidden lock.
Ceiling Mounting

Drill four 6.5mm diameter holes on the ceiling, spaced 53mm apart.
Hammer the wall plugs into the holes, and then secure the mounting bracket onto the ceiling with screws.
Align the buckle on the back of the AP with the hole on the mounting bracket.
Slide the AP onto the mounting bracket in the reverse direction against the arrow on the bracket until it clicks into place.

NOTE:

The AP supports wall mounting and ceiling mounting and the installation steps are similar. Here the ceiling mounting is taken as an example.
Install the Ethernet cable before mounting the AP onto the bracket.
Do not forcibly push the AP into the slots.
After installation, verify that the AP is securely fastened.

Installing the Optical Module

Insert the SFP module into the AP and then insert the fiber optic cable into the module.
