Follow these steps to mount your access point on a suspended ceiling:
Step 1 Decide where you want to mount the access point.
Step 2 Attach two T-rail clips to the suspended ceiling T-rail.
Step 3 Use the mounting plate to adjust the distance between the T-rail clips so that they align with the holes in
the mounting plate.
Step 4 Use a standard screwdriver to tighten the T-rail clip studs in place on the suspended ceiling T-rail. Do
not overtighten.
Step 5 Install a plastic spacer on each T-rail clip stud. The spacer’s legs should contact the suspended ceiling
T-rail.
Step 6 Attach the mounting plate to the T-rail clip studs and start a Keps nut on each stud.
