(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The R610 can be mounted to a T-bar, wall or ceiling a using
the enclosed mounting kits. Refer to the following sections:
•Mounting on a Flat Surface
•Mounting on a Recessed Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
•Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
•Mounting on a Truss or Pole
Mounting on a Flat Surface
1 Use the Mounting Template on the last page of this
Quick SetupGuide as a templateto mark the locations
for drill holes on the mounting surface.
2 Use a 5mm drill bit to drill holes approximately 25mm
into the mounting surface (
Figure 3 ).
3 Insert the anchors and mounting screws into the mount-
ing surface, leaving approximately 1/4” (6 mm) 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
Optional:
If You Want To Switch from DHCP (Default):
If you anticipate logging into the AP regularly to perform
monitoring or maintenance once it is in place, you may want
to consider assigning a static IP address to the AP.
In a default AP configuration, the AP uses a DHCP-
assigned IP address.
A. On the menu, click Configuration > Internet .
B. Click the Static IP option.
C. Fill in the IP Address and Mask fields.
D. Click Update Settings to save your changes.
Note: If you will be using PoE, then you will need a Cat 5e
(or better) Ethernet cable to connect the AP to the PoE
injector or switch.

•Removing an External Bracket from a T-Bar
•Removing the External Bracket from the AP
Mounting an AP using the External Bracket
1 Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (B
in
Figure 4 ) inthe mounting holes on the R610 enclosure,
and then slide the T-bar bracket until the studs are in the
narrow parts of the R610 mounting keyholes.The mount-
ing bracket locks in place on the AP enclosure.
Figure 4. Attaching the external bracket to the AP
2 Attach the locking tab (C in Figure 4 ) to one side of the T-
bar and the bracket (B in Figure 4 ) 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 5 ). 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 R610-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 ( Figure 7 ) toward the
Ethernet ports on the R610 until it detaches from the
R610.

Mounting on a Flush Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
Mounting an AP using the Integrated T-bar clips
1 Orient the AP so that the T-bar is positioned between
the T-bar clips as shown in
Figure 8 , then rotate the AP
until the third T-bar clip catches the T-bar and the
latch locks the T-bar in place (
Figure 9 ).
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.
Removing an AP Integrated Bracket from a T-Bar
1 To remove the AP from a T-bar, first 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 R610.
Figure 10 Cable tie slots
2 Fasten the R610 to the truss or pole using the cable
ties.
Note:
The built-in mounting clips on the bottom of the AP
are designed to accommodate 15/16 T-bar widths only.
Note: This mounting bracket can also be used on a flush
drop-ceiling T-bar, so the four rubber feet on the bottom
of the AP minimize ceiling tile displacement.
