attach to suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 26).
Note: To comply with NEC code, attach a grounding wire to any of the screws used
to attach the AP200 to the mounting bracket.
Figure 26: Mounting the AP200 to a Suspended Ceiling Rail
To mount an AP200 below a suspended ceiling:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rail where the AP will be mounted and
remove the ceiling tiles.
2. Place each of the two caddy fasteners on the ceiling T-rail and twist to attach to
the rail.
3. Adjust the distance between the caddy fasteners by using the mounting bracket
holes as a guide.
4. Tighten the caddy fasteners in place using a standard screwdriver. Do not
overtighten.
Caution! Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port.
