  1. Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rail.
  2. Open the movable sliding part of the T-bar to give the stationary and slider T-bar more space.

  3. Hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar.
  4. Tilt the T-bar up slightly in such a way that you are holding the stationary and movable sides of the bracket. 4 Squeeze the bracket parts together until you hear the T-bar locking tab click into place.
  5. Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the back of the access point. The locking tab fits into a groove in the outside of the AP.
