Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling
Step 4 Configure the ends of the T-bar box hanger to allow for maximum clearance above the ceiling tile. See
the illustration above.
Step 5 Attach the T-rail clips on the each end of the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling grid T-rails. Make sure the
clips are securely attached to the T-rails.
Step 6 Connect a drop wire to a building structural element and the hole provided in the bracket mounting clip.
This additional support is required in order to comply with the U.S. National Electrical Safety Code.
Step 7 Attach the access point to the access point mounting bracket.
Step 8 Connect the Ethernet cables to the access point.
Note The power module and power injector are not rated for mounting above suspended ceilings.
Therefore, you must use the Ethernet cable to supply power.
Step 9 If you need additional security, you can secure the access point to a nearby immovable object using a
Kensington lock and security cable.
Step 10 Verify that the access point is operating before replacing the ceiling tile.
Mounting on a Network Cable Box
Follow these steps to mount the access point on a network cable box.
Step 1 Position the mounting plate over the newtowk cable box and align the two mounting holes (labled with
a X) with the network cable box holes.
Step 2 Hold the mounting plate and insert a 6x32x1/4 flat head screw into each of the X mounting holes and
tighten.
Step 3 Pull the access point cables out of the network box until there is about 1 foot of exposed cables
protruding from the box.
To attach the access point to the mounting plate, see Attaching the Access Point to the Mounting Plate”
section on page 2-15.
Mounting on a Desktop or Shelf
When placing the access point on a desktop of shelf, you do not need the mounting plate. The access
point has four rubber pads on the bottom to help prevent sliding or scratching the surface of your desktop
or shelf. For information on connecting the access point cables, see the “Connecting the Ethernet and
Power Cables” section on page 2-17.
