Install the AP300
Mount AP300 Above a Suspended Ceiling (Plenum)
Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit (see Mounting Brackets for the part number) to mount
AP300 above suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 10 and Figure 11 ). The installation attaches the T-
bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP300 attaches to the T-bar box hanger. We recommend
that you mount the AP300 no more than half way up the supports as shown in both
Figure 10 and
Figure 11 . Also note that AP300 mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than
AP300 mounted under the ceiling.

The second example above is mounted too high on the support rails, which could cause the rails to
bend.
