Using a Security Cable

You can secure the access point by installing a standard security cable (such as the
Kensington Notebook MicroSaver, model number 64068) into the access point
security cable slot. The security cable can be used with any of the mounting
methods described in this document.

Follow these steps to install the security cable.

1. Loop the security cable around a nearby immovable object.
2. Insert the key into the security cable lock.
3. Insert the security cable latch into the security cable slot on the access

point.

4. Rotate the key right or left to secure the security cable lock to the access

point.

5. Remove the key.

Mounting the Access Point

The Stratix 5100 WAP comes with a low-profile access point mounting bracket:
AIR-AP-BRACKET-1. This bracket can be mounted flush on a flat surface or
directly onto a ceiling, on grid-work.

This procedure describes the steps required to mount the access point with a the
mounting bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-1) on a ceiling constructed of 19.05 mm
(3/4-in.) or thicker plywood by using appropriate fasteners.

Follow these steps to mount the access point on a solid ceiling or wall.

1. Place the mounting bracket on the surface where you are going to mount

the access point.

2. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the

mounting holes (1) on the bracket.

TIP

Access points perform best when antennas are oriented vertically.
