Installing the Access Points
Mounting Below a Suspended Ceiling
The optional suspended ceiling mounting kit allows the AP200 mounting bracket to
attach to suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 20).
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 20: 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.
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
AP200 to the narrow end of the hole.
7. Attach a keps nut to each caddy fastener stud and hand tighten. Do not
