pole clamps, and hand tools to tighten the clamps.
Step 1: Connecting Your Computer to the
AP
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect your computer network
port to the 2.5G ETH PoE port on the AP. Refer to Figure 2.
2. Connect the AC cable of the AC power adapter to a
convenient and protected power source. Connect the DC
output cable of the AC power adapter to the 48 VDC port on
the AP.

Mounting Instructions
Mounting on a Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The factory-supplied T-bar mounting assembly kit allows you to
attach the AP to recessed and ush drop-ceiling T-bars.
1. Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (1 in
Figure 3) in the keyholes on the AP enclosure.
2. Slide the T-bar bracket away from the Ethernet ports on the
bottom of the AP until the AP retainer tab snaps into place,
trapping the T-bar bracket studs in the keyholes (2 in Figure
3).
FIGURE 3 Attaching the T-bar Bracket to the AP
3. Insert the locking tab (3 in Figure 3) so it is in the rst
position on the T-bar bracket (1 Figure 3).
4. Gently push the ceiling tiles, if present, up and out of the
way.
5. Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge of
the T-bar (1 in Figure 4). Make sure that both clasps are
gripping the T-bar.
6. Hold the AP in place and gently push the locking tab (2 in
Figure 4) until its clasp grips the other edge of the T-bar.
Make sure that all three clasps are gripping the T-bar.

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 4.75-mm (3/16-in.) drill bit to drill holes approximately
25 mm (1 inch) deep into the mounting surface.
3. Insert the factory-supplied anchors (1 in Figure 5) and
mounting screws (2 in Figure 5) into the mounting surface,
leaving approximately 6 mm (1/4 inch) of the screw heads
protruding for the AP enclosure.

4. Place the AP onto the mounting screws so the screw heads
enter the keyholes on the AP enclosure, and push the AP
down until the AP retainer tab snaps into place.
