Revision 0.1, September 2003 (9/22/03)
Installing the Access Point
—
3/16-inch holes if you are using plastic anchors
— 1/8-inch holes if you are using only the screws
3. If you are using plastic anchors, install them in the holes.
4. Screw in the screws most of the way, so that the screw head is about 1/16 of an
inch from the wall.
5. Mount the access point on the screws, placing the circular portion of the keyhole
mounts over the screw heads and sliding the access point down.
6. Point the antennas down.
7. Connect the PoE 100BaseT Ethernet cable.
Mounting Above a Ceiling Tile
1. Remove the ceiling tile where the access point will be located.
2. Confirm that there is at least 6 inches of space above the ceiling tile to accommo-
date the access point antennas. If there is insulation above the ceiling tile, clear it
for at least three inches to the side and three inches above the access point.
3. Cut a hole in the tile, 1¼ inches in diameter, for the access point light-pipe
extender. The hole should be at least 6 inches from the edge of the tile.
4. Insert the light-pipe extender into the hole, with the 2-inch flange on the appear-
ance side of the ceiling tile.
5. Attach the mounting bracket to the light-pipe extender, with the two small pins
on the light-pipe extender fitting into the small holes on the mounting bracket and
the two hooked tabs fitting into the two notches in the mounting bracket hole.
Note that the tabs are different widths and the wide tab fits only into the wide
notch. Press the tabs in towards each other to clear the edges of the notch. They
will lock in place.
6. Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile, using two #6 screws.
