2 Preparing for Installation

Unpacking and Inspection

Before unpacking the unit, make sure that the package is intact, without any sign of

damage. When unpacking the unit, avoid excessive force; otherwise, the unit inside the

package may get damaged.

After unpacking the unit, check that all items listed on the packing list are contained. If

any of the items are missing, contact your local dealer immediately.

Temperature and Humidity Requirements

The operating temperature and humidity requirements are as follows:

Specification Range

Operating temperature -10°C to 55°C (14°F to 131°F)

Storage temperature –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)

Operating humidity (non-condensing) 5% to 95%

Power Supply

The AP9152 supports PoE power supply.

3 Installing the AP

Note:

1) Make sure that no metal particles (such as screws) fall into the Ethernet or

console interface during installation.

2) Before installing the AP9152 to the wall-mounting bracket, connect the

network cable. The network cable can only be UTP Cat-5.

3) Before connecting the console cable to the AP9152 for debugging or pressing

the reset button, you need to remove the device from the wall-mounting

bracket.

Determining the Installation Site

Determine the installation site by observing the following principles:

zEnsure that there are as few obstacles as possible between the AP and the

wireless stations.

zKeep the AP far away from electronic devices (such as microwave ovens) that

may generate RF noise.

zEnsure that the installation site will not cause any inconvenience or nuisance.

Note:

1) Make sure the ceiling is strong enough and the structure is suitable for ceiling

mounting. Reinforce the ceiling if needed.

2) Use a Kensington lock if physical security is required to protect the AP from

being stolen.

Installing the AP

The AP9152 supports three installation methods:

zMounting the AP on a Wall

zMounting the AP on a Ceiling

zMounting the AP to a T-Rail

Mounting the AP on a Wall

The following describes how to mount the AP9152 on a wall:

zInstalling the wall-mounting bracket on the wall

zInstalling the AP on the wall-mounting bracket

zLocking the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket (optional)

Installing the wall-mounting bracket on the wall

Step1 Place the wall-mounting bracket tightly against the wall where the AP is to be

mounted and mark the locations to drill holes for installing the screws. Then use

a drill with a bit of 6 mm (1/4 in.) in diameter to drill holes in the wall. The hole

pattern must be identical with that in the wall-mounting bracket.

Highlight:There are five mounting holes in total in the wall-mounting bracket of the

AP9152. Select the three round holes (with a diameter of 5 mm, or 0.20 in.) for the

installation.

Figure1 Mounting hole pattern of the AP9152 wall-mounting bracket:

Step2 Insert the pointed ends of wall anchors into the drilled holes and tap the flat

ends of wall anchors with a rubber hammer until they are all flush with the wall

surface.

Step3 Align the holes in the wall-mounting bracket with the wall anchors and insert

screws through the mounting holes into the wall anchors, as shown in Figure2.

(4) Key-hole clip (5) Screw

Step4 Adjust the position of the wall-mounting bracket and tighten the screws.

Note: Install the wall-mounting bracket with the arrow on the bracket pointing upwards.

Installing the AP on the wall-mounting bracket

Step1 Align the -shaped holes on the AP’s rear panel with the key-hole clips on the

wall-mounting bracket and hang the AP on the bracket. See callout 1 in

Figure3.

Step2 Rotate the AP to fix it. See callout 2 in Figure3. Fix the -shaped holes on the

AP’s rear panel to the key-hole clips on the wall-mounting bracket.

Figure3 Fix the AP9152 onto the wall-mounting bracket

Note: Rotating the AP9152 clockwise installs the device, while rotating it

counterclockwise uninstalls it.

Locking the AP onto the wall-mounting bracket (optional)

The AP9152 has a security slot on the upper left side, which can be used to lock the AP

to a fixed object to prevent theft. Follow these steps to lock the AP to a fixed object:

Step1 Fix the security cable to a nearby fixed object.

Step2 Insert the locking plate in the security slot to lock the AP.

Note: The lock is user supplied.

Mounting the AP on a Ceiling

Note:

1) To use this installation method, make sure that the thickness of the ceiling is

less than 18 mm (0.71 in.), and the ceiling can bear the weight of at least 5 kg

(11.02 lb).

2) You are not recommended to use this method to mount the AP to a location

made of low-intensity materials such as a plaster ceiling. If this installation

method is required in such an environment, put a high-intensity plate beneath

the nut to secure the installation.

Select the two mounting holes of the wall-mounting bracket as shown in Figure5 to

mount the AP on the ceiling (in mm). Follow these steps to mount the AP on the ceiling:

Step1 Drill two holes in the ceiling corresponding to the two mounting holes in the

wall-mounting bracket.

Figure5 Mounting holes on the wall-mounting bracket

(1) Mounting holes for mounting the AP on a ceiling

Step2 Insert the bolts through the mounting holes of the wall-mounting bracket and

the drilled holes on the ceiling, and then tighten the nuts on the other side of the

ceiling to secure the wall-mounting bracket as shown in Figure6.

Step3 Mount the AP9152 to the wall-mounting bracket. For details, refer to Installing

the AP on the wall-mounting bracket.

Mounting the AP to a T-Rail

Note: The width of the T-rail must be in the range of 14 mm (0.55 in.) to 24 mm (0.94

in.).

Follow these steps to mount the AP to a T-rail:

Step1 Loosen the two M3 × 6 screws on each clip holder until the screw heads are
