Mounting Hardware
Mounting hardware for the Cisco 812 ISR consists of brackets, which connect to the bottom of the router,
and ceiling grid clips, which connect the bracket to a suspended ceiling. The bracket that you need
depends on the mounting location for the router. The ceiling grid clip that you need depends on the type
of suspended ceiling where you need to install the router. You do not need ceiling grid clips if you are
mounting the router to a hard-surface ceiling or a wall.
Mounting Bracket
The Cisco 812 ISR has only one mounting bracket. The C810-BR-CM universal bracket is versatile. It
works with electrical boxes, can be used for wall mounting, and adapts to ceiling installations.
Figure 2-10 shows the universal bracket installed on the Cisco 812 ISR.

2-11
Cisco Integrated Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter 2 Installing the Router Installing the Cisco 810 ISR
Figure 2-10 Universal Bracket Installed on the Cisco 812 ISR
Ceiling Grip Clips
Use a ceiling grid clip to mount the router on a suspended ceiling. The ceiling grid clip that you need
depends on the ceiling tiles on your ceiling. There are two types of ceiling grid clips:
•Ceiling Grid Clip, Recessed (AIR-AP-T-RAIL-R)—If your ceiling tiles hang below the ceiling grid,
this clip provides the best fit between the router and the ceiling.
•Ceiling Grid Clip, Flush (AIR-AP-T-RAIL-F)—If your ceiling tiles are flush with the ceiling grid,
this clip provides a snug fit between the router and the ceiling.
The standard 9/16, 15/16, and 1 ½-inch wide T-rail mounting are supported with the Ceiling Grip Clips.

Figure 2-11 Ceiling Grid Clip
Additional Adapters for Channel and Beam Ceiling Rails
The most common type of suspended ceiling support rail (the support for the ceiling tiles) is the ceiling
Tile rail or T-rail for short. You can attach a ceiling grid clip directly to a T-rail ceiling rail. However,
other types of ceiling rails, such as channel rails and beam rails, require an additional adapter clip
(AIR-CHNL-ADAPTER). You need two adapter clips for each router. Set screws on the clips hold them
securely on the ceiling rail.
Figure 2-12 shows the three types of ceiling rails: T-rail, channel, and beam. Figure 2-13 shows the
Cisco Access Point installed with mounting bracket, ceiling grid clip, and adapter clips.

Mounting the Cisco 812 ISR Below a Suspended Ceiling
The recommended power option for the Cisco 812 ISR, when mounted below a suspended ceiling, is the
Cisco C810-POE-SPL (PoE+ splitter) with the use of the supplied 1.3 meter power cable and Cat5 cable
(Plenum rated). The cables can be hidden above the suspended ceiling for a clean installation. See the
“Installing the Cisco PoE+ Splitter” section on page 2-2 for details on installing the PoE+ splitter.
Use a flat screwdriver if there is a need to remove the GE/console cables.
To mount the Cisco 812 ISR below a standard or recessed suspended ceiling, perform these steps.
Step 1 Decide where you want to mount the router on your suspended ceiling.
Step 2 Open the ceiling grid clip completely.
Step 3 Place the ceiling grid clip over the T-rail and close it to the appropriate detent (A, B, or C).
Step 4 Use a screwdriver to tighten the two ceiling grid clip locking screws to prevent the clip from sliding
along the T-rail.
Step 5 Observe the ceiling grid clip width detent letter (A, B, or C) that corresponds to the T-rail width.
Step 6 Align the corresponding holes (A, B, or C) on the mounting bracket over the mounting holes on the
ceiling grid clip.

Step 7 Hold the mounting bracket and insert a 6-32 x 0.18-inch screw into each of the four corresponding holes
(A, B, or C) and tighten.
Step 8 If necessary, drill or cut a cable access hole in the ceiling tile large enough for the Ethernet and power
cables. Pull the cables through the access hole until you have about 1 foot of cable protruding from the
hole.
Step 9 (Optional). Use the ground screw to ground the router to a suitable building ground. See the “Grounding
the Cisco 812 ISR” section on page 2-18 for general grounding instructions.
Step 10 Connect the Ethernet and power cables to the router.
Step 11 Align the router feet over the keyhole mounting slots on the mounting bracket. If you created a hole for
the cables, make sure the router is positioned so that the cables reach their respective ports.
Step 12 Gently slide the router onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place. Figure 2-14 shows the
Cisco 812 ISR mounted on a T-rail ceiling rail using a ceiling grid clip.

Mounting the Cisco 812 ISR on a Hard Ceiling or a Wall
This procedure describes the steps required to mount the Cisco 812 ISR on a ceiling constructed of
3/4-inch (19.05 mm) or thicker plywood using #8 fasteners using the universal mounting bracket
(C810-BR-CM).
Note The Cisco 812 ISR integrated antennas perform best when the router is mounted on horizontal surfaces
such as a table top or ceiling. For advanced features such as voice, location, and router detection, ceiling
mounting is strongly recommended. However, for smaller areas such as conference rooms, kiosks,
transportation environments, or hot-spot usage where data coverage is the primary concern, the unit may
be wall mounted using wall anchors or screws.
