Mounting to a Drop Ceiling

1. Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rail and verify that the LAN 1 Ethernet cable can reach the AP at the mounting point.
2. Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable (and power supply cable, if applicable) to the back of the AP and then insert the cables into the cable holding/strain relief slot.

3. If your LAN does not have PoE (Power over Ethernet), you must also connect to an AC power source by plugging the external 12V DC adapter power cord into the power connector on the back of the AP. (There is no wall mount bracket for the 12V DC power supply.) Then plug the other end of power cord into the AC electrical outlet.
4. Slide the T-bar ceiling mount bracket base into the access point‘s metal base. The locking tab fits into the grooves in the outside center of the back of the AP.
5. Slightly lift the movable T-bar locking tab to increase the space between the stationary and the slider T-bar sides of the bracket. Then hook the stationary end of the T-bar bracket onto the T-bar, as shown in the following figure.

6. While holding the AP with one hand, reach the other hand over the T-bar and grasp both the stationary and movable sides of the bracket. Push the bracket parts together so they both grasp the T-bar and the locking tab clicks into place.
7. While still holding the AP, rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted.
8. (Optional) Attach the Kensington lock and cable (or equivalent) to secure the AP.
