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 23 for orientation).
6. Hold the AP200 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 20).
8. Clip the box hanger T-rail clips to the ceiling rails, making sure they are securely
attached.

slide into the keyhole (see Figure 19), ensuring the locking detent is engaged. You

Figure 15), point the antenna down, then retighten the ring.
