Figure 2-8 T-Bar Grid Mounting Bracket Parts
Step 1 Insert the bracket mounting clip’s tab into the rectangular hole on the access point mounting bracket.
Step 2 Place the clip over the T-bar box hanger (refer to Figure 2-9) and secure it to the access point mounting
bracket with the 1/4-20 fastener (supplied with the T-bar hanger).
Figure 2-9 T-Bar and Mounting Bracket
Step 3 Remove a ceiling tile adjacent to the mounting location.
Step 4 Configure the ends of the T-bar box hanger to allow for maximum clearance above the ceiling tile. See
the illustration above.
Step 5 Open the access point cover and connect the Ethernet cable to the access point (see the “Connecting to
an Ethernet Network with an Inline Power Source” section on page 2-22).
Step 6 Attach the access point to the access point mounting bracket (see the “Attaching the Access Point to the
Mounting Plate” section on page 2-16).
Step 7 Attach the T-rail clips on the each end of the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling grid T-rails. Make sure the
clips are securely attached to the T-rails.
