The brackets on the bottom of the AP433e allow it to be mounted directly to a
ceiling T-bar (see Figure 10). Note that the AP lock must be disabled by sliding the
locking key (provided in the box) into the unlock hole on the side of the AP shown
in Figure 9 in order to clip the AP in place (Figure 10: Mounting AP433e to a
Suspended Ceiling Rail)
Figure 10, Mounting AP433e to a Suspended Ceiling Rail
To mount an AP433e below a suspended ceiling:
•
Determine the location on the ceiling rail where the AP will be mounted
and remove the ceiling tiles.
•
Verify that the AP is unlocked using the locking key on the unlock
mechanism (on the same side as the Ethernet ports). See Figure 11,

Press the AP433e against the T-bar at a slight angle and then rotate into
place, as indicated in Figure 10. You should hear it snap in place.
•
For each antenna, loosen the knurled ring at the base of the antenna,
orient the antenna and then retighten the ring.
•
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the switch and the other end to
the AP433e Ethernet port. See Figure 9, IO Port of AP433e
Caution!
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.
