Installation Guide
Introduction
The AP-65-MNT-WJ access point (AP) enclosure allows you to install an Aruba Networks AP-65 access
point on the wall, directly over an installed junction box.
The AP-65-MNT-WJ kit includes the following pieces:
Plastic base plate to attach over a standard installed junction box
Plastic wall box
One of the following plastic faceplate styles (depending on which model you ordered):
Three openings for Krone, Keystone, or Leviton connectors
Three openings for Siemon 45° connectors
Blank
Blank fillers as needed for unused faceplate openings
Two screws to attach the faceplate to the enclosure:
Pan-head screw
Torx screw with matching Torx key
Labels and cover windows
Before You Install the AP Enclosure
You need the following tools to install the AP enclosure:
Screwdriver to match the screws in the cover plate over the installed junction box
#1 Phillips screwdriver for the cover plate retaining screw on the AP enclosure
(Optional) side cutters or similar tool to cut out openings for cable raceways or power connection
access
To use the enclosure with surface mounted cable raceways, prepare the box before installation. On the
inside of the box, at the top and bottom, are marked areas that you can cut out to allow cable access
(see Figure 1).
To use an external power supply, cut out the marked area at the lower right corner of the box (see
Figure 1).

of the way as you continue with the next step.
3. Attach the AP-65 to the mounted base plate as follows:
