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 (A in
the following Figure) 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 (B) snaps into
place, trapping the T-bar bracket studs in the keyholes (C).
FIGURE 3 Attaching the T-bar bracket to the AP
3. Insert the locking tab (D) so it is in the rst position on the T-
bar bracket (A).
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 (A in the Figure below). Make sure that both clasps
are gripping the T-bar.
6. Hold the AP in place and gently push the locking tab (B) until
its clasp grips the other edge of the T-bar. Make sure that all
three clasps are gripping the T-bar.
FIGURE 4 Attaching the T-bar bracket to the T-bar
7. (Optional) Attach a customer-supplied padlock through the
bracket AP retainer tab (B) to lock the AP to the T-bar bracket
studs.

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 (A in the Figure below)
and mounting screws (B) into the mounting surface, leaving
approximately 6 mm (1/4”) of the screw heads protruding for
the AP enclosure.
FIGURE 5 Flat surface mounting
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.
5. (Optional) Attach a customer-supplied padlock through the
integral AP retainer tab to lock the AP to the mounting screw
heads.
