Installation guide

Install the AP300

3. Locate the bracket mounting clip holes on the mounting bracket (see Figure 11). One hole attaches

the bracket perpendicular to the box hanger; the other mounts the bracket parallel to the box

hanger.

4. Attach the U-joint of the clip to the T-bar and snap in place (see Figure 12).

5. Pass the long end clip through the large center hole to the underside of the mounting bracket clip

and then attach the bracket to the clip using the supplied screw (see Figure 12 for orientation).

6. Hold the AP300 next to the mounting bracket to estimate the height of the T-bar box hanger to

provide enough clearance for the external antennas, which should be pointing down.

7. Adjust the height of the box hanger using the height adjusting screws (see Figure 10).

8. Clip the box hanger T-rail clips to the ceiling rails, making sure they are securely attached.

9. Connect a drop wire to a building structural element and through the hole provided in the bracket

mounting clip. The U.S. National Electrical Safety Code requires this additional support.

10. Connect the posts of the AP300 to the three keyholes of the mounting bracket and slide into the

keyhole, ensuring the locking detent is engaged. You will hear a click.

11. For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see Figure 8), point the

antenna down, then retighten the ring.

12. Connect one end of the PoE Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connector, shown in Figure 11.

13. Check that the AP300 is operating correctly before replacing the ceiling tile to the ceiling. Verify

correct operating using the LEDs, as shown in Check AP300 LED Activity.

Note:

For the AP201 and AP208 access points, use a shielded Cat 5e (or greater)

Ethernet cable in order to comply with international electromagnetic

emissions limits.
