4.
Tighten the caddy fasteners in place using a standard screwdriver. Do not
overtighten.
5.
Place each spacer on the caddy fastener stud. The spacer legs should contact the
ceiling
T-rail.
6.
Align the mounting bracket keyholes with the caddy fastener studs and slide the
AP200 to the narrow end of the hole.
7.
Attach a keps nut to each caddy fastener stud and hand tighten. Do not
overtighten.
8.
Align the AP200 mounting posts over the circular portion of the keyhole mounts,
push the AP in and slide the AP down until it engages with the locking detents
(see
). You should hear it snap in place.
9.
For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna (see
), point the antenna straight down, then retighten the ring.
10.
Connect one end of the PoE 100BaseT Ethernet cable to the 100/1000 Ethernet
connector, shown in (see
Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling
The optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit allows the AP200 to be mounted above
suspended ceiling T-rails (see
). The installation attaches the T-bar box
hanger to the ceiling rails using clips. The AP200 attaches to the mounting bracket
that is attached to the T-bar box hanger.
The AP200 antennas should point straight down for this type of installation. You may
need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation.
Note:
For the AP201 and AP208 access points, a shielded Cat 5e (or greater)
Ethernet cable must be used in order to comply with international
electromagnetic emissions limits.
If it is not practical to use shielded cables, contact Support for a line filter,
available at no charge, that may also be used to ensure compliance.
Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port.
Warning!
When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling,
the AP200 is to be powered via PoE only (PoE is required).
