Diagonal Ceiling Mount
To mount the AP230 to a track in a dropped ceiling in the diagonal position you must first attach the
diagonal bracket to the ceiling track. You may need to drill a small hole in the adjacent ceiling tile to
accommodate the cables.
Use the following steps and Figure 3 on page 11 to install the AP in a diagonally on a dropped ceiling track.
1. Install the diagonal clip onto the track. Slip one edge of the clip over the track and rotate the clip until it
clicks into place on the track. You can slide the bracket along the track for positioning.
2. Hold the device upside down and slip the mount clips over the edges of the diagonal mount bracket.
3. Press the device gently against the bracket and rotate it until the mount clips click into place.
To remove the device, press the clips toward the device until they disengage from the track, then rotate the
device gently and pull it away from the track.
Locking the AP230
You can secure the AP using a Kensington lock, or you can use the security bracket and security screw that
ships with the device to secure it to a ceiling track or to a wall.
To lock the AP to the ceiling track or the wall, use either the slotted screw or the security screw, both of which
are included in the mounting kit. If you use the security screw, you will need a drilled spanner insert bit for size
#6 security screws and a screw driver that will accept the bit. The correct bits are available from Aerohive in
sets of three (AH-ACC-SEC-BIT-330-AP350-3PK). If you use the slotted screw, you can install it with a standard
flat-blade screwdriver or driver bit.
Use the following steps to secure a device for all mounting positions:
1. Once the device is mounted on the wall, or attached to the ceiling track, install the security bracket in
the appropriate position as shown below.
2. Install the security screw or a slotted screw into the security hole and tighten with the appropriate tool.

Aerohive recommends a variety of Kensington locks. For more information, contact your sales
