Installing the AT-WA7500
You can place the AT-WA7500 horizontally on a desk or counter. The
AT-WA7500 also ships with a mounting bracket that lets you mount it
vertically to a wall. Additional mounting options that you can use with
the mounting bracket include a cubicle bracket that lets you mount the
AT-WA7500 on a cubicle wall or in a locking bracket.
To order one of these kits, contact your Allied Telesyn representative.
Allied Telesyn also offers a variety of antennas and antenna accessories.
