same side as the Ethernet ports).
3.

cated in

Mount AP433e Above a Suspended Ceiling (Plenum)
Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount the AP433e above suspended ceiling
T-rails (see
Figure 13 on page 32 ). The installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceil-
ing rails and then the AP433e attaches to the T-bar box hanger. Note that an AP433e mounted
above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than an AP433e mounted under the
ceiling.
The AP433e with the metal enclosure exposed meets the requirements for fire resistance and
low smoke-generating characteristics required by Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) for installation in a building’s environmental air space.
You may need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation.
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can mistakenly be plugged into the
Console port. If you do this. the AP won’t power up.

When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling, power the AP433e only with
a PoE, not a power supply.
