10. The access point is ready to configure. For information on basic access point device
configuration, see “
Defining a Basic Configuration” on page 17.
2.5 Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Installation
A suspended ceiling mount requires holding the access point up against the T-bar of a suspended
ceiling grid and twisting the access point chassis onto the T-bar.
To install the access point on a ceiling T-bar:
1. If desired, install and attach a security cable to the access point lock port.
2. If using an external antenna model, attach the antennas to their correct connectors.
3. For more information on the antenna options available to the access point, see “
Antenna
Options
” on page 11.
4. Cable the access point using either the Power Injector solution or an approved line cord and
power supply.
For Power Injector installations:
a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host)
and the Power Injector Data In connector.
b. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data &
Power Out connector and the access point’s GE1/PoE port.
c. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and
access point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Injector has no On/Off
power switch. The Power Injector receives power as soon as AC power is applied. For
more information on using the Power Injector, see “
Power Injector System” on page 7.
For power adapter (Part Number PWRS-147376-01R) and line cord installations:
a. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the access
point’s GE1/PoE port.
b. Verify the power adapter is correctly rated according the country of operation.
CAUTION Do not connect to the power source until the cabling of the access
point is complete. Ensure PoE is not connected to the access point’s
console connector or risk rendering the console connector
permanently inoperable.
