Chapter 2 Mounting Instructions
Mounting the Access Point
Article 800, which includes requirements for a Listed primary protector upon entering the building, and
limits the installation to only Listed networking equipment designed to accommodate telecommunication
interfaces.
Caution To provide inline PoE, you must use the power injector (AIR- PWRINJ1500=) specified for the access
point. Other power injectors, PoE switches, and 802.3af power sources may not provide adequate power,
which may cause the access point to malfunction and cause over-current conditions at the power source.
You must ensure that the switch port connected to the access point has PoE turned off.

Access Point Mounting Orientations
When installing an access point on a horizontal or vertical surface, you must ensure that the access point
is correctly oriented.
Caution When mounting the access point in a horizontal position, you must position the side with the 2.4-GHz
antenna connector facing down (see Figure 2-4). When you are mounting the access point in a vertical
position, you must position the access point with the 5-GHz antenna connector facing up (see
Figure 2-5). This positioning is required to prevent water intrusion into the unit from the vent. You must
ensure that the vent is not obstructed by anything.
