Mounting the AP on a ceiling

CAUTION:

 Verify that the AP is secured to the mounting bracket to avoid falloff.

 Do not use this method to mount the AP to a location made of low-intensity materials

such as a plaster ceiling. If this installation method is required in such an environment,

put a high-intensity plate beneath the ceiling to secure the installation.

 The ceiling tiles must be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) thick, and the ceiling can bear a

weight of at least 5 kg (11.02 lb).

The three bolt holes shown in Figure 14 are needed for mounting the AP on a ceiling.

To install the AP on a ceiling:

1. Drill two 5.0 mm (0.20 in) diameter holes in the ceiling where you want to mount the AP. The

distance between the two holes must be the same as the distance between the two bolt holes

on the mounting bracket.

2. Insert the hex-head bolts into the bolt holes on the mounting bracket and the holes in the

ceiling. From above the ceiling, fasten the hex nuts to the hex-head bolts to fix the mounting

bracket to the ceiling.

3. Connect the AP to the network by using an Ethernet cable.

4. Install the AP to the wall-mounting bracket. For more information, see "Mounting the AP on a

wall."
