Before you begin

• An indoor access point
• ACC-BKT-AX-JB accessory

About this task

The ACC-BKT-AX-JB accessory is used when you need to install the access point on an indoor junction box. The ACC-BKT-AX-JB access has two parts:

• A metal part that attaches to the junction box (also called the sheet-metal junction box hole plate)
  
• A plastic part that attaches to the metal part and the access point (also called the plastic twist plate)
  

Procedure

1. Remove the screws holding the junction box cover plate.
2. Remove the LAN cable from the cover plate.
3. Bring the LAN cable through the center hole of the metal bracket part.

   *The LAN wire must be in-between the metal part and the plastic part during installation.

4. Place the ACC-BKT-AX-JB accessory metal part, with the bracket holes against the cover plate of the box.
5. Using the screws removed from the cover plate, find the bracket holes that align with the junction box screw holes.

   *Important: The textf ro the holes must be normally readable

6. Using the cover plate screws, attach the metal bracket part to the junction box.
7. Place the plastic part on the metal part, rotate it ¼th to 1/3rd turn clockwise until you hear it click in place as the lock is set.

   *Important: When installed correctly on a wall, the side arrows on the plastic part must be pointing up.

   There is a metal pull ring in the metal part that is used to unlock and remove the plastic part.

   To unlock the plastic part, pull out the pin's ring and turn the plastic part 1/3rd turn counter-clockwise and lift it apart.
