Before Getting Started
Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area.
The service location should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of
interferences. Normally, the higher you place an access point or air monitor, the
better its performance will be.
Use the following specifications to determine the proper clearance in your
intended location.
The AP 65 dimensions (HxWxD) are:
With antenna stowed: 100mm x 100mm x 37mm
3.94 x 3.94” x 1.47”
With antenna fully extended: 167mm x 100mm x 37mm
6.58” x 3.94” 1.47”
AP 65 unit weight is: 0.227 kilos
0.5 lbs
Secure Wall Mounting
The AP-65-MNT mounting cradle can be used to mount the AP 65 directly to a
wall, ceiling, underneath a counter, or similar flat surface. Two screw holes on the
mounting cradle support installation of the cradle directly onto a pre-installed,
in-wall, NEMA-style gang box.
To mount the AP 65 to a wall, ceiling, or similar flat surface:
1. Insert the Fast Ethernet (FE) cable through the hole in the mounting cradle,
then attach the mounting cradle to the surface using the appropriate
fasteners (not included) or the screw holes on the in-wall gang box.
If necessary, attach an RJ-45 male connector to the FE cable.
2. (Optional) Align and attach the AP security T-bar to the AP 65 as shown (see
Figure 1).
The security T-bar deters theft of the AP 65 when installed in areas where
security cannot be guaranteed. It is not required for mounting the AP 65.
3. Insert the FE connector into the FE port.
4. Align the AP 65 with the mounting slots as shown in Figure 1. Push the AP
onto the mounting tabs to secure the AP 65 in place.
5. If you are using the security T-bar, secure the T-bar to the mounting cradle
with the security T-bar screw.

Mounting To A Ceiling Tile Rail System
The AP 65 enclosure supports an integrated 15/16” ceiling tile rail guide slot,
designed to snap onto standard 15/16” tile rails (the use of this kit for this
purpose is not required).
To mount the AP 65 to a ceiling:
1. Pull the Fast Ethernet (FE) cable through a prepared hole in a ceiling tile at the
location where you want to install the AP 65.
2. Insert the FE cable into the FE port on the rear of the AP 65.
3. Align the AP 65 with the appropriate ceiling tile rail, engaging the rail at
approximately a 30 degree angle (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 Engaging the ceiling tile rail
4. Make sure the FE cable will retract into the ceiling area allowing the AP 65 to
fit flush against the ceiling.
5. Pushing gently against the ceiling rail, twist the AP 65 clockwise until the AP
and the rail click into place (see Figure 3).
6. Orient the antennas for optimal performance. Typically, the best results are
achieved when the antennas are oriented vertically.

Caution: Make sure the AP 65 clicks into place on the tile rail. Failure to
securely engage the ceiling rails into the built-in ceiling tile rail
slots on the rear of the AP 65 could cause it to fall and
possibly injure people or equipment.
