1 AP-85 Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit Installation Guide Introduction This installation guide describes how to install replacement mounting hardware for the AP-85. The mounting hardware in this kit is intended to replace missing or damaged hardware that was shipped with the AP-85. This document does not include pre-installation and post-installation requirements, such as minimum software requirements, Access Point (AP) provisioning, connecting power cables, and other network requirements for an AP-85 installation. Refer to the AP-85 Outdoor Access Point Series Installation Guide that shipped with your AP-85 unit for complete details. Package Checklist Verify that you have the following items: pole mount clamp x mounting plate x pole mount bolt retention clip x long pole mount bolt (for 2.5" to 3.5" pole) x short pole mount bolt (for 1.5" to 2.5" pole) x bracket assembly bolt (for attaching clamp to base) x4 If any items are missing or damaged, contact your supplier. Required Items for Wall Mount Installation Not Included Wall mount hardware is not included with the mounting plate and must be purchased separately for your mounting application. The mounting plate accepts the following screw or bolt sizes: M4 M5 SAE #8 SAE #10! CAUTION Access points must be installed by trained service personnel. These installers are responsible for ensuring that grounding is available and that grounding meets applicable local and national electrical codes. WARNING Do not work on an AP and do not connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity June

2 ! CAUTION Access points are radio transmission devices and therefore are subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of access points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, access points must use channel assignments appropriate to the location in which the access point will be used.! CAUTION RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 13.8 inches (35 cm) between the radiator and your body for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operations. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. When operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range, this device is restricted to indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference with co-channel Mobile Satellite Systems. Preparatory Steps To prepare the AP-85 for replacing the mounting hardware: 1. Disconnect existing power and cable connections before you begin to replace the mounting hardware on the AP-85. WARNING Disconnect the AC mains before you handle the AC power cable and before you connect or disconnect the AC power cable at the AP Loosen the four mounting bolts on the back of the AP (see Figure 1).

Using the replacement mounting hardware from the kit, install the AP on a wall or pole as described in the following sections. 2 AP-85 Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit Installation Guide

3 Wall Mounting the AP-85 To wall mount an AP-85: 1. Secure the mounting plate to a flat wall using the appropriate screws and anchors for your mounting application (see Figure 2). NOTE Wall mount hardware is not included with the mounting plate and must be purchased separately for your mounting application. The mounting plate accepts the following screw and bolt sizes: M4, M5, SAE #8, and SAE #10. Figure 2 Attaching the Mounting Plate Wall Mounting Plate Screws (4x) Anchors (4x) arun_ Seat the AP-85 into the keyholes on the mounting plate and tighten down the four M8 mounting bolts to secure the AP-85 in place (see Figure 3). At each mounting bolt, the mounting plate should rest between the captive flat washer and the rear of the AP-85. NOTE Figure 3 shows the AP-85 installed with the antenna jacks at the top of the unit. To install the AP-85 with the antenna jacks at the side, rotate the unit 90 degrees before seating the unit on the mounting plate.

4 Pole Mounting the AP-85 (1.5-inch to 3.5-inch Diameter Pole) To attach an AP-85 to a pole with a diameter of 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches: 1. Attach the pole mount clamp to the mounting plate (see Figure 4): a. Select the appropriate long T-bolt for the pole you are using. Use the longer T-bolt for poles from 1.5 to 3.5 inches in diameter. To reduce the excess bolt extension from APs mounted on poles with a diameter of 2.5 inches or less, use the shorter T-bolt. b. Thread the T-bolt through the opening in the pole mount clamp. c. Attach the provided retaining clip to the T-bolt. d. Screw the provided nut onto the end of the T-bolt. 2. Secure the mounting plate to the pole mount clamp using the four provided Phillips screws (see Figure 4). Figure 4 Assembling the Hardware for Pole Mounting Mounting Plate Pole Mount Clamp Phillips Screws (4x) Retaining Clip Nut (1x) T-Bolt (1x) arun_ Attach the pole mounting bracket assembly to 1.5-inch to 3.5-inch diameter pole and secure the bracket in place (see Figure 5). a. Wrap the pole mount clamp around the pole. b. Slip the end of the T-bolt with nut through the opening in the pole mount clamp. c. Maneuver the T-bolt to the top slot in the pole mount clamp and tighten down the nut. Verify that the nut is tightly secured and that the clamp cannot move. It must be secure to support the weight of the AP AP-85 Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit Installation Guide

Seat the AP-85 into the four keyholes on the mounting plate and tighten down the four M8 mounting bolts to secure the AP-85 in place (see Figure 6). At each mounting bolt, the mounting plate should rest between the captive flat washer and the rear of the AP-85. NOTE The pole mount clamp can be secured to a horizontal or vertical pole. The position of the keyholes on the mounting plate allows you to mount the AP-85 on either pole type with the antenna jacks at the top or the side. To mount the AP-85 with the antenna jacks at the side, rotate the unit 90 degrees before seating the unit on the mounting plate. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 for details.

Attach the mounting plate to the pole using outdoor rated straps (see Figure 8). Outdoor rated straps are not included with the unit and must be purchased separately. 2. Seat the AP-85 into the four keyholes on the mounting plate and tighten down the four M8 mounting bolts to secure the AP-85 in place (see Figure 8). The mounting plate should rest between the captive flat washer on each mounting bolt and the rear of the AP-85. NOTE The mounting plate can be secured to a horizontal or vertical pole. The position of the keyholes on the mounting plate allows you to mount the AP-85 on either pole type with the antenna jacks at the top or the side. To mount the AP-85 with the antenna jacks at the side, rotate the unit 90 degrees before seating the unit on the mounting plate.
