Thank you for that. The W3, is a *godsend*. Highly recommend it and very shallow..unlike the normal x mount which sticks way out.

We had a rough time when the AP-220-MNT-W3 came out and worked with Aruba to fix the slide mechanism and to get a usable patch cord with them. One of our techs actually did a video of an installation and talked through the problems. That made it to engineering and they sent us a prototype within a couple of weeks that worked much better and this is standard mount now. I would recommend giving Aruba feedback and having your locals push it to engineering. You might enjoy starring in a video for them too :) Amel Caldwell University of Washington UW-IT Wi-Fi Network Engineer Wi-Fi Service Manager am...@uw.edu<mailto:am...@uw.edu> 206-543-2915 University of Washington has open positions for Wi-Fi Network Engineers on our Network Design and Architecture team. https://uwhires.admin.washington.edu/ENG/candidates/default.cfm?szCategory=jobprofile&szOrderID=147382&szCandidateID=0&szSearchWords=&szReturnToSearch=1 https://uwhires.admin.washington.edu/ENG/candidates/default.cfm?szCategory=jobprofile&szOrderID=147172&szCandidateID=0&szSearchWords=&szReturnToSearch=1 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> on behalf of "Floyd, Brad" <bfl...@mail.smu.edu<mailto:bfl...@mail.smu.edu>> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Date: Wednesday, October 25, 2017 at 2:55 PM To: "WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>" <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU>> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Particulars about Aruba bracket JY705A AP-200-MNT-W3 Thanks Mike!

The mechanism that moves is a little different, and it's harder to push in the part that moves. I can get you a few pic's tomorrow if that helps you our.

We’ve started ordering these because the W2 mounts were discontinued and in the pictures, they look just like the W2s did. If they are this complex, we may need to have a discussion with a product manager. Thanks, Brad From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Paul Reimer Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2017 4:14 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Particulars about Aruba bracket JY705A AP-200-MNT-W3 Hi All, I wanted to share our first look at the JY705A AP-200-MNT-W3. The slide latch is on a plate that comes out of the main body of the mount and until it’s removed that plate obscures the screw holes we would typically use to attach the mount to the mud plates with two machines screws. These two pieces are held together by screws that thread into the main body of the mount. So the first step of installation of this mount would require removing this slide latch plate to attach the main AP mount body to the box. The second step would be to fasten the slide latch plate into the main AP mount body with four small coarse thread plastic screws, then finally attaching the AP. Because the main AP mount body needs to be fastened down first you can’t assemble it ahead of time. If the AP is overhead, you’d have to fasten in the slide latch plate overhead with four fiddly little screws. The design does allow an installer to rotate the latch plate by 90° so that the AP release button might be more accessible after installation. This is obviously why they separated the latch plate and main body. Other than that it complicates the installation and adds steps that wouldn’t be required with a single piece mount. Probably more of a cautionary tale. Don’t get them unless you need them or your installers may hold a grudge. I’m thinking these are a none starter and we’ll look at stocking another model.
