If you are not connected to a DHCP server, you can assign an IP address to
the access point using the CLI. In this situation, obtain a unique IP address
for your access point, a default gateway, and subnet mask from your network
system administrator.

Mounting the Access Point

The access point uses a detachable universal mounting plate to mount the
access point to flat surfaces such as a wall or ceiling. The universal mounting
plate is also used to mount the access point to an electrical or network
junction box, or to the provided rail clips for below a suspended ceiling.
The mounting process is simple and requires common tools. Because it is
detachable, you can use the universal mounting plate to mark the positions of
the mounting holes for your installation. You then install the universal
mounting bracket on the surface and attach the access point when you are
ready.
When you have mounted the access point, its padlock post enables you to
protect the Ethernet, power cables, and Mode button, and to lock the access
point with a padlock.
