(For required mounting hardware and tools, see Table 4 on page 22.)
1 Select an installation location that is centered over a T-bar in the ceiling.
2 Cut a hole as follows in the ceiling tile for the Cat 5 cable(s):
a Place the mounting template over the area where you plan to install the
MP access point.
b Use the box cutter to cut along the line marking the opening for the port
connectors.
c Remove the mounting template and the material you cut from the ceiling
panel.
3 Install the T-bar clamp that fits the T-bar:
a Slide each half of the clamp onto the T-bar so that the clamp lip is fully on
the T-bar.
b Slide the two halves of the clamp toward each other until the tabs are
inserted completely into the holes and the clamp fits snugly on the T-bar.
