Mounting on a Flat Surface or Pole Using the Optional Secure Mounting Bracket

The customer-ordered Ruckus Wireless secure mounting bracket kit (ordering part number 902-0120-0000) includes a metal mounting bracket and provides greater security when attaching the AP to flat surfaces (walls and ceilings) and to poles.

• If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface, then you will also need an electric drill with a 4.75mm (3/16”) drill bit, and the four No. 6 zinc plated screws and plastic wall anchors included with the kit.

• If you are mounting the AP on a truss or pole, then you will also need the two pipe clamps included with the kit.

Continue with the following:

1 If you are mounting the AP on a flat surface, then use the

secure mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations for four drill holes on the mounting surface. There are four screw holes available on the secure mounting bracket.

Fasten the bracket to the flat surface using four mounting screws and plastic wall anchors and continue with Step 3

2 If you are mounting the AP on a pipe or pole, then feed the two

stainless steel clamps included with the kit through the slots on the secure mounting bracket. Use common hand tools to tighten the clamps around the pipe or pole.

After the bracket is attached, continue with Step 3

3 Insert the two studs on the secure mounting bracket into the

keyholes on the bottom of the AP, as shown in Figure 3

. Note:

There is a second set of keyholes that are for optional sideways mounting on a flat surface. Physical security is not supported when mounting the AP with this set of keyholes.

4 Slide the AP toward the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the

AP. The AP has a built-in lock for the secure mounting bracket studs, and snaps into the locked position when the studs are fully in the keyholes.

5 (Optional) Attach a customer-supplied padlock through the

integral AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6

) to fasten the AP to the

secure mounting bracket studs.

Removing the AP from the secure mounting bracket:

1 If the AP is locked to the secure mounting bracket, then

remove the lock.

2 Gently push and hold the AP retainer tab (B in Figure 6) to the

side to release the secure mounting bracket.

3 While holding the AP retainer tab to the side, slide the AP away

from the Ethernet ports on the bottom of the AP.
