5. Pass the long end clip through the large center hole to the underside of the the mounting bracket
clip and then attach the bracket to the clip using the supplied screw (see Figure 25 for
orientation).
6. Hold the AP150 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 22).
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 hold provided in the bracket
mounting clip. The U.S. National Electrical Safety Code requires this additional support.
10. Connect the posts of the AP150 to the three keyholes of the mounting bracket and slide into the
keyhole (see Figure 21), 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 17), point the
antenna down, then retighten the ring.
12. Connect one end of the PoE 100BaseT Ethernet cable to the 100/1000 Ethernet connector, shown
in Figure 18.
13. Check that the AP150 is operating correctly before replacing the ceiling tile to the ceiling. Verify
correct operating using the LEDs, as shown in the next section.
