Installing AP320i

Figure 19: Assembled Mounting Bracket
4. Gently press the bracket attached to the AP320i against the mounting brace and rotate it into place
until the locking mechanism clicks. Note that this is essentially the same process as depicted in
Figure 21.
5. Remove a nut from each leg of the T-Bar kit and slide the crossbar on top of them.
6. Replace the nuts removed to lock the crossbar into place on the legs.
7. Attach the clips on either side of the T-Bar kit to the ceiling tile rails on which the full setup is to
be mounted.
8. Connect a drop wire to a building structural element and through the hole provided in the bracket
mounting clip (on the underside of the AP320). The U.S. National Electrical Safety Code requires
this additional support.
9. Connect one end of the PoE Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector.
Check that the AP320i is operating correctly before replacing the ceiling tile to the ceiling. Verify
correct operation using the LEDs, as shown in Check AP320i LED Activity.
Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this. the AP won’t power up.
Note:
Use a shielded Cat 5e (or greater) Ethernet cable in order to comply with
international electromagnetic emissions limits.
