Preparing for Installation
3Com recommends that you connect and check the Ethernet cable and LEDs before
you install the AP in a hard-to-reach location. Also, observe these items before you
mount or connect the AP:
Feature
Switch
To connect your wireless network to your wired network, you need a
Port
switch that is connected to the AP.
Make sure that a standard Ethernet cable with straight-through wiring is
installed at the site before you install the AP.
Cabling
Make sure that the cable is highly flexible and that the RJ-45 connector
has no extra covering that could prevent the cable from being routed
through the mounting bracket.
Power
Power is supplied using an 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Requirem
compliant device such as a PoE switch or a PoE injector. For maximum
ent
performance, 3Com recommends that you use a Gigabit link.
Record the AP MAC address in a safe place before the AP is installed in
MAC
a hard-to-reach location.
Address
The MAC address is printed on the back of the AP.
Mounting the AP
The AP can be mounted on the following types of surfaces:
Wall or electrical box (NEMA enclosure)
Table top
Ceiling Mounting
Wall or Electrical Box Mounting
To install your AP on a wall or electrical box, use the mounting bracket that comes with
the device. Follow these steps:
1) Following these guidelines, screw the mounting bracket to a wall or electrical
box (NEMA enclosure):
The mounting bracket tabs should be pointing upward.
If mounting to drywall, use the 4 screws and 4 wall anchors.
If mounting to an EU electrical box (60.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and
insert into the holes marked "A" in the diagram shown below.
If mounting to a US electrical box (83.3mm), use 2 threaded screws and insert
into the holes marked "B" in the diagram shown below.
