Chapter 2: Mount and Install the Smart-hopping 2.0 Access Point 1.4 GHz
Mounting the Smart-hopping Access Point with a Tether Mount (Optional)
In addition to (not as a substitute for) any of the other installation options described in
this chapter, you can add a tether from the tether point on the Access Point to a
permanent building structure for extra security (where local building codes require this
type of installation [such as earthquake-prone areas]).
Note You must connect the other end of the tether to a stable part of the building frame.
Perform these steps before replacing the ceiling tile onto the ceiling frame structure, or
prior to attaching the Access Point to a wall:

There is a tether point on the Access
Point housing to allow for tethering to
other permanent structures. Use a 18-
gauge galvanized steel wire. Make sure
the tether wire complies with national
and local building standards.
Thread the wire through the tether
point in the Access Point housing. The
tether wire must have three tight turns
of the wire within 1.5 inches of the end
of the wire.
Connect the other end of the tether
wire to a permanent structure within
the ceiling. The tether wire may be
attached to any of the following:
• Wood or metal stud framing
• Blocking attached to wood or metal
framing
• Plywood adequately attached to wood
or metal stud framing, reinforced
concrete, or reinforced masonry
• Reinforced concrete
• Reinforced masonry
