Mounting Instructions
Mounting on a Flat Surface
The factory-supplied mounting screws and plastic wall anchors
allow you to attach the AP to a wall or other at surface.
1. Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this Quick
Setup Guide to mark the locations for two drill holes on the
mounting surface.
2. Use a 4.75mm (3/16”) drill bit to drill holes approximately
25mm (1”) deep into the mounting surface.
3. Insert the factory-supplied anchors and mounting screws
into the mounting surface, leaving approximately 6 mm
(1/4”) of the screw heads protruding for the AP enclosure.
4. To remove the AP, insert the unit removal pin into the hole
on the top of the AP to unlock, then push the AP up to
release the AP enclosure from the mounting screws.
FIGURE 3 Flat surface mounting
Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
NOTE: This mounting bracket can also be used on a ush
drop-ceiling T-bar, so the four rubber feet on the bottom of
the AP minimize ceiling tile displacement.
The enclosed T-bar bracket allows you to attach the AP to
recessed drop-ceiling T-bars.
Mounting an AP using the External Bracket
1. Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (B in
the Figure below) in the mounting holes on the AP enclosure,
and then slide the T-bar bracket until the studs are in the
narrow parts of the AP mounting keyholes. The mounting
bracket locks in place on the AP enclosure.
FIGURE 4 Attaching the T-bar bracket to the AP
2. Attach the locking tab (C) to one side of the T-bar and the
bracket (B) to the other side of the T-bar.
3. Slide the locking tab (C) into the bracket (B) so that it locks in
place around the T-bar (Figure below). Make sure that both
clasps are gripping the T-bar.

FIGURE 5 Attaching the external bracket to the T-bar
Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar
1. Move the ceiling tiles out of the way.
2. Slide the locking tab away from the T-bar to release the AP-
bracket assembly from the T-bar.
3. The AP-and-T-bar bracket assembly comes away from the T-
bar.
FIGURE 6 Removing the external bracket from the T-bar
Removing the External Bracket from the AP
1. Insert the unit removal pin into the hole on the front of the
AP to unlock the mounting bracket from the AP enclosure.
2. Slide the mounting bracket toward the Ethernet ports on the
AP until it detaches from the AP.
FIGURE 7 Removing the external bracket from an AP
Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
Mounting an AP using the Integrated T-bar clips
NOTE: The built-in mounting clips on the bottom of the AP are
designed to accommodate 15/16 T-bar widths only.
1. Orient the AP so that the T-bar is positioned between the T-
bar clips as shown in Figure below, then rotate the AP until
the third T-bar clip catches the T-bar and the latch locks the
T-bar in place.
FIGURE 8 Attaching the AP to the T-bar
FIGURE 9 Locking the AP to the T-bar
2. Insert the Torx security screw into the hole near the latch to
lock the AP in place.
3. To remove the AP from a T-bar, rst remove the security
screw, then depress the latch while rotating the AP so that
the T-bar clips disengage the T-bar.
Mounting on a Truss or Pole
1. Feed the customer-supplied cable ties through the four slots
on the back of the AP.
FIGURE 10 Cable tie slots
2. Fasten the AP to the truss or pole using the cable ties.
