Mount the AP64 Access Point

You can mount the AP64 either on a wall or on a pole using two methods—flush mount or articulating mount.

Mounting Brackets for AP64

We ship the AP64 with the APOUTBR-FM2 flush mount brackets. You can order the articulating mount brackets separately.

Table 1 lists the part numbers for the mounting brackets.

Connect the Grounding Cable

We recommend that you ground the AP before mounting it on a wall or pole. The AP64 has a single-hole protective grounding terminal on the rear. Use this grounding terminal to ground the AP.

To ground the AP64:

  1. Remove the screw.
  2. Place the grounding lug attached to the grounding cable over the grounding terminal.
  3. Secure the grounding cable lug to the grounding terminal with the screw.

Mount the AP64 on a Wall Using APOUTBR-FM (Flush Mount)

To flush mount the AP64 on a wall:
  1. Drill four holes on the wall based on the location of holes marked with callout #1 in Figure 1
  2. Insert screws in the two upper holes. Do not tighten the screws fully.
  3. Attach the APOUTBR-FM flush mount bracket to the AP by using the four screws, washers, and lock washers provided along with the AP. Use the bracket screw holes marked with callout #3 in Figure 1.

Connect an RJ-45 Cable Gland

Use an RJ-45 cable gland when you connect an RJ-45 cable to the AP. The cable gland helps secure the RJ-45 cable and protects the cable from damage. To connect an RJ-45 cable using the cable gland:
  1. Disassemble the cable gland:

    1. Remove the cable gland nut by turning it counter-clockwise.

    2. Remove the blue seal. Ensure that you select the correct seal. The cable gland has two seals—a blue seal (7 mm through 9.5 mm diameter) and a red seal (5.5 mm through 7 mm diameter).

    Figure 22: Disassemble an RJ-45 Cable Gland Disassemble an RJ-45 Cable Gland
  2. Insert the RJ-45 cable through the cable gland:

    1. Open the seal and insert the RJ-45 cable through the nut and the seal.

      Figure 23: Insert the RJ-45 Cable Through the Nut and the Seal of the Cable Gland Insert the RJ-45 Cable Through the Nut and the Seal of the Cable Gland

    2. Push the RJ-45 cable through the cable gland. Push the seal into the cable gland and loosely tighten the nut.

      Figure 24: Push the RJ-45 Cable Through the Cable Gland Push the RJ-45 Cable Through the Cable Gland
  3. Connect the RJ-45 cable to the AP port. Attach the cable gland to the AP and tighten it with a torque of 10–12 kg-cm. Then, fully tighten the nut to the cable gland with a torque of 7–10 kg-cm.
