1. Pull the necessary cables through a prepared hole in the ceiling tile near where the AP will be

placed.

2. If necessary, connect the console cable to the console port on the back of the AP.

3. Hold the AP next to the ceiling tile rail with the ceiling tile rail mounting slots at approximately a 30-

degree angle to the ceiling tile rail (see Figure 5). Make sure that any cable slack is above the ceiling

tile.

4. Pushing toward the ceiling tile, rotate the AP clockwise until the device clicks into place on the

ceiling tile rail.

5. On the AP-121 or AP-125, orient the antennas. For best results, rotate the antennas so that they are

vertical (perpendicular to the body of the AP) (see Figure 6).
