Mount the Access Point Using the Main Mounting Bracket and KT-135628-01 Adapter to a Flat T-bar

About this task

Mounting the AP to a suspended or a drop ceiling requires the optional adaptor (Universal Mounting Kit for WLAN APs; # KT- 135628-01). The adaptor requires a flat T-bar and fits a ceiling tile with up to a 0.35 in. protrusion from the T-bar.

Before you begin

  • T-bar width can be either 9/16 in. (15 mm) or 15/16 in. (24 mm).
  • T-bar bottom must be flat all the way across
  • T-bar minimum base thickness: N/A; must be structurally sound
  • T-bar maximum base thickness: 0.055 in. Due to manufacturing variation some adaptors may be able to accommodate up to 0.060 in.
  • Ceiling tile may protrude up to 0.3 in. below the T-bar

Procedure

  1. Attach the T-bar adapter by lining up the small bends on the adaptor with the long raised parts on the main bracket, pull up on the adapter‘s locking pin, and twist.
    Ensure that the locking pin goes into the locking pin hole on the main bracket and locks in place.
  2. Slide the T-bar holder onto the T-bar and replace the tiles to hold the adaptor onto the T-bar.
  3. Hold the AP and rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted.
  4. Attach the Ethernet cable‘s RJ45 connector to the LAN1 port.
