Installation Requirements
AP332e
Wall mount bracket
Two ceiling mount brackets (for varying sized ceiling structures)
Six antennas
Screws for the mounting bracket
Installation Requirements
An array of holes on the mounting bracket allows the AP332e to be mounted on the wall and over junc-
tion boxes or molly bolts. There are holes for passing the PoE Ethernet or external power supply cable
through the bracket if the bracket is mounted on a junction box.
The AP332e has a security cable slot so you can lock the AP332e with a standard security cable, such
as those used to secure laptop computers.
The AP332e ships with included ceiling and wall mounting brackets to be used for varying types of
lcations, such as on T-bars or over junction boxes. For mounting above ceiling tiles, purchase optional
mounting kits:
Above Suspended Ceiling Mounting Kit (T-Bar Hanger): ACC-MNT-ASCMKIT
Above hanging ceiling tiles. Suitable for use in environmental air space in accordance with the
Section 332e-22(c) of the National Electric Code and Sections 2- 128.12 - 010 (3) and 12 - 100 of the
Canadian Electrical Code. Part 1. C22. 1. Note that in order to comply with these standards, the
plastic cover on the AP must be removed.
Additional Equipment
A power source is needed to power the AP332e. The AP332e requires an 802.3at power source when
operating with PoE. If this is not available, 12V DC power (2A rated) must be supplied.
Antenna Mappings
See Table 3 to determine which radio is associated with each antenna.
