You can install the WLA532E access point on the ceiling using the provided mounting
bracket in the or on a junction box on a wall. Mounting the device on the ceiling is the
primary installation method and ceiling-mount installation steps are provided in this
topic. You can purchase a junction box wall-mount kit separately and follow the
wall-mounting instructions in the Wireless LAN Services (WLS) documentation at
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/ .
The ceiling mount kit includes a bracket for mounting the access point to a recessed,
9/16-inch or 15/16-inch T ceiling-tile rail and an indoor ceiling rail adapter that allows
you to mount the access point to a 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch open ceiling rail.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the access point:
•
One ceiling-mount bracket (WLA-BRKT-CLNG) (provided)
•
Mounting template (provided)
•
Category 5e straight-through signaling cable with RJ-45 connectors, installed (not
provided)
•
Three supported external omnidirectional and paddle antennas (not provided)
•
Box cutter or similar tool to cut ceiling tiles (not provided)
•
(Optional) An indoor ceiling-rail adapter and a legacy adapter (both provided), which
are needed only for unique ceiling-rail installations using the adapters-see the WLA532E
Access Point Hardware Documentation at
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-dependent/wireless/informationproducts/
pathway-pages/wireless-lan/index.html.
•
(Optional) Security kit, which includes a security tool and a security screw. (The kit is
not provided and can be ordered separately.)
To install the access point on a suspended ceiling rail:
1. Attach three supported external omnidirectional and paddle antennas to the external
antenna ports of the access point. For antenna specifications and ordering information
see the WLA Series Wireless LAN Access Points product information at
http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/wireless/wla-series.
2. Orient the antennas for the best antenna reception. See Figure 4 on page 47.
