Locking Notch The Locking Notch will be used with the
Mounting Bracket to help secure the UniFi AP. (This is described
further in the Mounting Bracket section.)
Ethernet This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect
the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP
server. Power can be provided by a Ubiquiti Networks

Hardware Installation
The UniFi AP can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:

the wall with the arrow pointing up.
2. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting holes. Use a 6 mm
drill bit to drill the mounting holes.
Arrow
3. If your Ethernet cable feeds through the wall, then cut or
drill a circle approximately 18 mm in diameter. Then feed
the CAT5/6 cable through the hole.
25 mm
Note: 25 mm is the distance from the center of the
bottom mounting hole to the center of the cable hole.
4. Insert the Screw Anchors into the 6 mm holes. Secure the
Mounting Bracket to the wall by inserting the Screws into
the anchors.
5. If the Ethernet cable runs along the mounting surface, then
remove the Cable Feed Plug.
6. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
7. Align the arrow on the UniFi AP with the arrow on the
Locking Tab of the Mounting Bracket.
