Access Point's GE1/POE port.
NOTE
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Access Point does not
exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Injector receives power and is ready for device
connection and operation as soon as AC power is applied. Refer to the Installation Guide shipped with the
Power Injector for a description of the device's LEDs.

2.4 Mounting the Access Point

Both the AP7131 and AP7131N can attach to a wall, mount under a suspended T-Bar or above a ceiling (plenum or
attic) following the same installation instructions. Choose one of the following mounting options based on the
physical environment of the coverage area. Do not mount the Access Point in a location that has not been
approved in a site survey.

2.4.1 Wall Mounting

Wall mounting requires hanging the Access Point along its width (or length) using the pair of slots on the bottom
of the unit and the Access Point mounting template (on the next page) for the screws.
The hardware and tools (customer provided) required to install the Access Point on a wall consists of:
• Two Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
(ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tapping screw, or
(ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping screw
• Two wall anchors
• Wall mount template (included on the next page)
• Security cable (optional third part provided accessory)
Cabling a Power Injector to the WAN port (GE2 port) renders the Access
Point non-operational. Only use a AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR (or
AP-PSBIAS-1P2-AFR) Power Injector with the Access Point's GE1/POE
(LAN) port.
An Access Point should be wall mounted to concrete or

plaster-wall-board (dry wall) only. Do not wall mount the Access
