Installing the Access Point
Figure 7: AP100-P Plenum Installation Items
To mount the AP100-P above a suspended ceiling:
1. Remove the ceiling tile where the AP100-P will be located.
2. Confirm that there is at least 6 inches of space above the ceiling tile to accommodate the AP
antennas. If there is insulation above the ceiling tile, clear it for at least three inches to the side
and three inches above the AP100-P.
3. Cut a hole in the tile, 1¼ inches in diameter, for the AP100-P light-pipe extender. The hole should
be at least 6 inches from the edge of the tile.
4. Insert the light-pipe extender into the tile hole, with the 2-inch flange on the appearance side of
the ceiling tile. Refer to Figure 8 for mounting bracket placement orientation, and invert the
extender.

5. Attach the mounting bracket to the light-pipe extender, with the two small pins on the light-pipe
extender fitting into the small holes on the mounting bracket and the two hooked tabs fitting into
the two notches in the mounting bracket hole. Note that the tabs are different widths and the wide
tab fits only into the wide notch. Press the tabs in towards each other to clear the edges of the
notch. They lock in place.
