Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 3 Mounting Instructions
Overview
Overview
The mounting brackets and hardware shipped with your access point enables you to mount it on any of
the following surfaces:
• Horizontal or vertical flat surfaces, such as walls or ceilings
• Suspended ceilings
• Cubical partition walls
• Desktop or other suitable horizontal surface
The 1100 series access point provides adequate fire resistance and low smoke-producing characteristics
suitable for operation in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings, in
accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Sections 2-128,
12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1.
Caution Only the fiber-optic power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-FIB) has been tested to UL 2043 for operation in a
building’s environmental air space; no other power injectors or power modules have been tested to UL 2043
and they should not be placed in a building’s environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.
Security features for each of these mounting methods are also provided. You can use a Kensington lock
(Notebook Microstar, model number 64068), which you must provide, to make the access point more
secure when you mount it using any of the mounting options.
You can use the security hasp adapter provided by Cisco to secure the access point with a padlock when
you use the wall or ceiling mounting bracket. The security hasp adapter provides maximum physical
security for your access point.
A mounting hardware kit is provided that contains the hardware and fasteners necessary to mount the
access point. Refer to Table 3-1 to identify the materials you need to mount your access point, then go
to the section containing the specific mounting procedure.
