Installing the Access Point

in Figure 18.
Mounting Below a Suspended Ceiling
The optional suspended ceiling mounting kit allows the AP150 mounting bracket to attach to
suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 22).
Note: To comply with NEC code, attach a grounding wire to any of the screws used to attach the
AP150 to the mounting bracket.
Figure 22: Mounting the AP150 to a Suspended Ceiling Rail
To mount an AP150 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.
5. Place each spacer on the caddy fastener stud. The spacer legs should contact the ceiling
T-rail.
6. Align the mounting bracket keyholes with the caddy fastener studs and slide the AP150 to the
narrow end of the hole.
Caution! Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can mistakenly be
plugged into the Console port.
