clockwise about 90 degrees to secure it in place.
To attach the access point to a ceiling using T-Rail connectors:
Step 1: Attach the T-Rail connectors to the bottom cover of the access point
using the provided short screws. Use appropriate size T-rail connectors
(15/16” or 9/16”). If extra space is required to accommodate drop ceiling
tiles, use the provided spacers and long screws.
Step 2: Line up the connected T-rail connectors with an appropriately sized rail
and press the unit onto the rail until it snaps into place.
Note: To protect your access point, use the Kensington security slot to attach a
cable lock (cable lock is not included).
