Install the Access Point to a 9/16th T-bar Ceiling

Before you begin

You need the following items:

AP3000X
One AH-ACC-BKT-AX-IL accessory bracket

About this task

You can mount the access point to a ceiling that has a 9/16 in. wide T-bar with a center protrusion.

Metal ceiling T-bar with bottom protrusion

Procedure

Remove the ceiling tiles.
Place the bracket on the ceiling rail in such a way that the accessory center is over the protrusion and the metal hinges are between perpendicular and about one-eighth of a turn from the sides of the ceiling rail.

Push up gently and rotate the bracket clockwise until the hinges hook over the edge of the rail and the white tabs click in place.

Note

There are two white tabs in the back of the accessory bracket that holds on to the ceiling rail in place. Use your finger to pull and unhook one side of the white tab if you want to remove the accessory from the ceiling rail.

Gently rotate the bracket counterclockwise and if there is resistance, the other white tab in the back of the accessory must also be released.
