3. Installation
■Ceiling Mounting
Note:
■Make sure the thickness of the ceiling is less than 18mm and
the ceiling can bear at least five kilograms.
■It is NOT recommended to mount the EAP on a low-strength
material, such as gypsum ceiling panel. If no other choice is
available, make sure you add a piece of strong material under
the wing nuts to ensure the EAP is mounted solidly.
1. Remove the ceiling tile.
2. Place the mounting bracket in the center of the ceiling tile. Mark the positions
of the three mounting slots and a hole for the Ethernet cable to feed through.

3. Use a drill with the appropriate size drill bit to drill three 4mm holes for
the pan-head screws, and drill a 10mm hole for the Ethernet cable to feed
through.
