Physical Security for AP 130 Ethernet, Reset and Console

johnny_matthews — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 03:20:28 GMT

I have the mounting/security bracket for the AP130, but students in my dorms feel they need to mess with the ethernet cable and reset buttons. One student bought an ethernet "splitter" cable so he could run a wire to his desktop computer (argh) and try to hijack the ethernet. I'm working on a cover that goes between the AP and the drop ceiling crossbar that covers the Ethernet jack, reset button and console port. It is held in place between the cross bar and the AP and locked into place with the security bar (from Aerohive). I've designed and 3d printed this with some success. I'm on a 3rd revision so far.

Do others have interest in something like this?

Thanks for sharing, that does look useful! We tend to use distance and gravity to discourage that kind of foolishness, but if that wasn't an option, your cover would certainly come in handy.
