Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling
The bracket mounting clip requires the use of an access point mounting plate (700-13520-03) with two
extra holes (see Figure 2-6).
Figure 2-6 Mounting Plate Holes ----- TBD -----
Follow these steps to mount the access point above a suspended ceiling.
Step 1 Insert the bracket mounting clip’s tab into the large hole on the access point mounting plate.
Step 2 Place the clip over the T-bar box hanger and secure it to the access point mounting plate (see Figure 2-7)
with the 1/4-20 fastener (supplied with the T-bar hanger).
Figure 2-7 Access Point Mounting Plate ---- TBD -----
Note The illustration shows the access point mounting plate mounted perpendicular to the T-bar box
hanger. You can also mount the bracket parallel to the T-bar box hanger.
Step 3 Determine the location in the ceiling where you will mount the access point and remove an adjacent
ceiling tile.
Step 4 Orient the access point 2-GHz and 5-GHz antennas so that they are pointing down when mounted on the
T-bar Box hanger.
