Attaching the Access Point to the Mounting Bracket
Figure 6-4 Access Point Mounting Bracket
Note The illustration shows the access point mounting bracket 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 Configure the ends of the T-bar box hanger to allow for maximum clearance above the ceiling tile (refer
to Figure 6-4).
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.
Verify that the access point is operating before replacing the ceiling tile.
Attaching the Access Point to the Mounting Bracket
Follow these steps to attach the access point to the mounting bracket:
Step 1 Line up the three mounting pins on the access point with the large ends of the keyhole-shaped holes on
the mounting bracket.
Step 2 Insert the access point into the keyhole shaped holes and maintain a slight pressure to hold it in place.
