Mounting the Cisco WAP361

• We recommend that you mount the Cisco WAP361 to a wall or junction

box.

Placement Tips

• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the Cisco WAP361 from

overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient
temperature of 104°F (40°C).

•Air Flow—Both side panels have vents that must be unobstructed to
prevent overheating.

• Mechanical Loading—The Cisco WAP361 should be level, stable, and
secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position.

Wall Mounting

Cisco WAP361 access points can be mounted on walls and junction
boxes, in the vertical orientation with the security screw on the top and the
LED which is located above the Cisco logo.

STEP 1 If you are mounting the AP directly to a junction box, go to Step 3.

For wall mounting, use the mounting bracket as a template to mark

the locations of the mounting holes on the bracket. Figure 1 shows
the dimensions of the mounting bracket.

CAUTION To ensure a safe and secure installation, make sure you are

using adequate screws and mount the access point using no
less than two screws.

Figure 1 Mounting Bracket Dimensions

TEP 2 For wall mounting, drill four pilot holes at the mounting hole

S

locations you have marked (at opposite corners of the bracket),
and use appropriate anchors (provided in the Mounting Kit) as
required.

NOTE The pilot hole size varies according to the material, and its

thickness, you are fastening. Cisco recommends that you test the
material to determine the ideal hole size for your mounting
application.

STEP 3 Feed the cable(s) from the junction box / wall through the large

center cable access hole in the bracket, with the words “NOTICE
WALL MOUNT ONLY” facing you as shown in Figure 2.
