Mounting the device on the exposed ceiling-tile rail is the primary installation method
for the WLA532E. The steps for a concealed plenum bracket ceiling-mount are provided
in this topic. Details about installation and installation kits and other WLA hardware
information can be viewed on the WLA Series Wireless LAN Access Points data sheet
from the
WLA Series Wireless LAN Access Points
product page and the hardware can be
purchased by contacting a Juniper Partner or a Juniper Salesperson at 1-866-298-6428.
Before installing the access point inside the ceiling :
• Find a permanent installation location for the WLA532E inside the ceiling. The plenum
bracket requires a ceiling cross-rail for installation.
•
Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 23 .
• Remove the access point from the shipping carton (see “Unpacking a WLA532E Access
Point” on page 44 ).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• Plenum ceiling-mount bracket (provided)
•
Category 5e cable, installed (not provided)
•
Two M4 screws (provided)
• Two sheet metal self threading screws ( not provided)
• Phillips number 2 screwdriver (not provided)
To install the access point on a ceiling cross-rail inside the ceiling:
1.
The WLA532E is shipped with an installed diamond mount on the bottom of the
access point for exposed ceiling tile rail installation. For plenum installation inside the
ceiling, you must first remove the diamond by unscrewing the three M4 flat head
screws (see
Figure 10 on page 52 ) using a Phillips number 2 screwdriver. Keep the
screws for later use.

2.
After the screws are removed, separate the open ends of the diamond bracket and
slide it forward to release the bracket snaps. See
Figure 11 on page 53 .
