Mounting the Access Point on a Pole
When installing an access point on a vertical pole, you should use the optional Cisco pole mount kit. The kit
supports metal, wood, or fiberglass poles from 2 to 16 inches in diameter.
Assembling the Pole Clamp Bracket and the Mounting Bracket
The pole mount kit contains several parts that you must assemble prior to mounting on a pole. First you need
to assemble two strap brackets on the pole clamp bracket that are positioned for the pole diameter you are
using to mount the access point. The following figure illustrates the pole diameter indicators and bolt holes
on the pole clamp bracket.
