Installation Process 1 Remove the ceiling tiles, push and rotate the main mounting bracket onto the T-bar in such a way that the center angled locking tabs of the main bracket gets attached to the T-bar. Figure 3: Attaching the main mounting bracket to a T-bar 2 Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure it is securely mounted. 3 Replace the tiles. 4 Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the LAN1/GE1 port.
Installation Process 1 Attach the T-bar adaptor by lining up the small bends on the adaptor with the long raised parts on the main bracket, pull up on the adaptor’s locking pin, and twist. Make sure the locking pin goes into the locking pin hole on the main bracket and locks in place. Figure 4: Attaching the adapter to the main bracket 2 Slide the T-bar holder onto the T-bar and replace the tiles to hold the adaptor onto the T-bar.
Installation Process 1 Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rail. Figure 5: WS-MBI-DCFLUSH Bracket 2 Open the movable sliding part of the T-bar to give the stationary and slider T-bar more space. Figure 6: Installing the WS-MBI-DCFLUSH bracket 3 Hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar. 4 Tilt the T-bar up slightly in such a way that you are holding the stationary and movable sides of the bracket.
Installation Process 5 Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the back of the access point. The locking tab fits into a groove in the outside of the AP. Figure 7: Attaching the AP unit onto the WS-MBI-DCFLUSH bracket 6 Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted. 7 Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the LAN1/GE1 port and place the ceiling tile back in place.
Installation Process 2 Open the movable sliding part of the T-bar to give the stationary and slider T-bar more space. Figure 8: Installing the WS-MBI-DCMTR01 bracket to a T-bar 3 Hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar. 4 Tilt the T-bar up slightly in such a way that you are holding the stationary and movable sides of the bracket. 4 Squeeze the bracket parts together until you hear the T-bar locking tab click into place.
Installation Process 5 Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the back of the access point. The locking tab fits into a groove in the outside of the AP. Figure 9: Attaching the AP unit onto the WS-MBI-DCMTR01 bracket 6 Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted. 7 Attach the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector to the LAN1/GE1 port and place the ceiling tile back in place.
Installation Process 3 #37201, Main bracket with #37210, Flat Metal-Easy Attach Adaptor. 4 Philps pan-head screws directly onto the wall (not recommended). Warning The AP must be mounted ONLY horizontally when mounting onto a plenum space. Note The recommended method of installation is using the Main Bracket. Pre-installation checklist: • The mounting surface, item, and hardware must be able to support the AP in all environmental conditions. • The mounting surface should be flat.
Installation Process 2 Use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the hole centers on the wall. Figure 10: AP3915i Mounting Bracket Note The four feet of the bracket must be horizontal and pointing to the left and the flat part of the bracket must be touching the surface it is being attached to. 3 Insert the screws into the holes of the mounting bracket and use the screwin anchors if needed. 4 Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1/GE1 port.
Installation Process 1 Install the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket on a wall/ceiling with the two screws and screw-in anchors. Ensure that the locking tab on the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket is on the bottom side during installation. Figure 11: Mounting the AP using the WS-MBI-WALL04 Bracket • • Use the WS-MBI-WALL04 as a template and mark the holes to be used to mount the AP. It is recommended to use the holes marked "A" or "B". Drill the holes and attach the bracket using the screws and screw-in anchors.
Installation Process Figure 12: Mounting the AP using the WS-MBI-WALL04 Bracket (when bracket corners are broken off) 2 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the AP. 3 Insert the AP onto the keyhole posts and slide the AP. 4 Lock the AP into place at about 1/4 inch. Mounting the AP onto a wall using the Main Bracket and the Flat Metal EasyAttach adaptor The AP can also be mounted onto a wall or solid ceiling by attaching a flat metal easy-attach adaptor to the mian mounting bracket.
Installation Process 1 Attach the flat metal indoor bracket to the main bracket. Keep the bracket to the center of the main bracket, push and rotate it. Figure 13: Attaching the optional Flat Metal Indoor Adaptor to the main mounting bracket 2 Hold the AP to the surface to which it needs to be attached and use the optional bracket’s end holes as a template to mark the attachment holes. 3 Drill two holes on the wall where you want to mount the AP. 4 Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the back of the AP.
Installation Process 2 Insert the screws into the holes and use the screw-in anchors if needed. Note Leave 1/8” gap between the screw head and the wall. Figure 14: Mounting the AP directly on a dry/wood wall using the Philips Pan-Head screws 3 Insert the Ethernet cable’s RJ45 connector into the LAN1/GE1 port. 4 Align the AP against the screw heads and slide it down. Ensure that the AP is secured in place and tightened.
Installation Process 2 Line up the bracket holes on the junction/gang box and ensure that they align. If the holes do not align, then use the WS-MBI-WALL04 bracket. Note When you line up the holes, the locking tab on the WALL04 bracket must be pointing down and the junction/gang box must be fully covered by the bracket. The bracket must be square to the rest of the room walls and the two holes that are being used must be on the opposite side of large center hole on the bracket.
Installation Process 1 Attach the adapter to the mounting bracket by using a twisting motion. Figure 15: Attaching the beam clip to the main mounting bracket 2 Attach the mounting bracket to the AP. 3 Place the adapter on a beam in such a way that there is enough space between the screw and clamp to be tightened. 4 Use the screw and clamp on the top of the adapter to secure the AP in place on the beam.
Installation Process 5 Insert the Ethernet plug into the AP. Connecting the Power Supply You can connect the power supply to the AP using the PoE option or the optional 12V DC power supply. 1 Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN1 port) of AP3915i. This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations. 2 The AP3915i can also be powered by an external DC power supply. It is plugged into an AC source.
