Connect the Ethernet cable to the

ETHERNET port on the EAP.

Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole

and set the ceiling tile back into place.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the

ETHERNET port.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the

ETHERNET port.

Make two small pencil marks on the

wall. Make sure the two marks are level

and 98.6mm apart.

Drill a 6mm hole through the center of

each mark.

Note: We recommend that you install the EAP with the Ethernet port downward.

Place the mounting bracket in the center

of the ceiling tile. Mark three positions for

the screw holes and a position for the

Ethernet cable hole.

Drill three 4mm holes for the screws and a

25mm hole for the Ethernet cable at the

marked positions.

Use an M3×6 pan-head screw to secure

the T-rail Clip onto the ceiling rail.

Position the Ceiling T-rail Clip and push

the movable part toward the rail base.

Remove the ceiling tile.

Insert the plastic wall anchors into the

6mm holes and drive the self-tapping

screws into the anchors. Do not drive

the screws all the way in and leave

enough clearance to hang the EAP.

Secure the mounting bracket to the

ceiling tile using three M3x30 pan-head

screws, washers and wing nuts, as shown

on the left.

Attach the mounting bracket to the

Ceiling T-rail Clip using four M3x6

pan-head screws.

Hang the EAP on the screws. Make sure

the EAP is firmly seated against the

wall.

Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by

aligning the arrow mark on the EAP with

the arrow mark on the mounting bracket,

then rotate the EAP until it locks into place,

as shown on the left.
