Installation Guidelines
Because the Access Point, base station, and bridge are radio devices, they are susceptible to RF
obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these
guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:
•
Install the Access Point, base station, or bridge in an area where large steel structures such as
shelving units, bookcases, and filing cabinets will not obstruct radio signals being transmitted or
received.
•
Install the Access Point, base station, or bridge away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless
phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency
range as the Access Point, base station, or bridge.

Installation Notes
You can mount the Access Point, base station, or bridge to a wall using the mounting kit and mounting
template provided. The kit contains the following parts:
•
Two #6 - #8 plastic wall anchors
•
Two #6 x 3/4" sheet-metal screws
Installation Instructions
Step 1
Use the mounting template to drill two holes in the wall. The holes should be 3/16 in. (0.48 cm) in
diameter and 1 in. (2.54 cm) deep.
Note
If you make a photocopy of the mounting template, make sure that the distance between the holes is
4 3/4 in. (12.06 cm) before you drill the holes. Some photocopy machines do not make exact
duplicates of the original.
Step 2
Tap the wall anchors into the holes.
Step 3
Drive the screws into the wall anchors, leaving a small gap between the screw head and the anchor.
Step 4
Position the mounting holes on the bottom of the case over the screws (see Figure 1) and pull down to
lock in place.
