Chapter 4 The HiveAP 340 Platform

MOUNTINGTHE HIVEAP 340

Using the mounting plate and track clips, you can mount the HiveAP 340 to the tracks of a dropped ceiling grid.

Using just the mounting plate, you can mount the HiveAP to any surface that can support its weight (3.3 lb., 1.5 kg).

Ceiling Mount

To mount the HiveAP 340 to a track in a dropped ceiling, you need the mounting plate, two track clips, and two Keps

nuts that ship as an option with the HiveAP 340. You also need a wrench and—most likely—a ladder.

Nudge the ceiling tiles slightly away from the track to clear some space. Attach the track clips to the ceiling track,

and then fasten the mounting plate to the clips, as shown in Figure8. When you have the mounting plate in the

correct location, cut or drill a hole in the ceiling through which you can then pass the Ethernet and power cables.

Figure 8 Attaching the Track Clips and Mounting Plate to the Ceiling Track

Attach the HiveAP 340 to the mounting plate and connect the cables, as shown in Figure9 on page57.

Note: You can tie the cables to the tie points (small arched strips) on the mounting plate to prevent them from

being pulled out of their connections accidentally.
