Mounting the AP on a ceiling
CAUTION:
The ceiling for installing the AP must be less than 18 mm (0.71 in) in thickness, and can bear a load
of 5 kg (11.02 lb). If you must install the AP on a ceiling not strong enough, use boards to reinforce
the ceiling.
The installation method for the M3 × 23.5 security screw is similar when the AP is mounted on the

2.
Place the mounting bracket against the ceiling tile and mark the installation holes on the ceiling
