WAX610 Ceiling Install

I DO see how to ceiling mount the ceiling base plate provided for this install...

I do NOT see is where to drill the 2 anchor holes RELATIVE TO the PoE cable ceiling penetration point.  Perhaps, a paper template would help. I just don't want the PoE cable to be visible after i slide/snap the WAX610 into place on the ceiling.

    You'll need to put the mount place close to the opening were the ethernet port is enough to cover where the cabling is or exits from the wall or cieling area. All that is up to you.

    You can see where the port is on the unit and you'll need to place it and the mounting plate near the cable exit postion your wanting to put the unit at.

    I would make it so it's fairly easy to connect or disconnect the LAN cable to the unit when needed. 

    Good Luck.
