The mounting brackets and ceiling rails easily handle the extra weight and the intent was to make a very robust
Access Point without the need for vent holes and to allow the product to be used in industrial and manufacturing
areas as well as commercial enterprise environments.
Figure 11: Access Point Bracket Choices
If the AP will be mounted directly to a ceiling on the gridwork, then AIR-AP-BRACKET-1 mounts flush and
has the lowest profile. However, if the AP will be mounted to an electrical box or other wiring fixture, or
inside a NEMA enclosure or perhaps wall mounted, then AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 is a much better choice. The
extra space in the bracket allows for wiring, and the extra holes line up with many popular electrical boxes.
When mounting the bracket to the ceiling gridwork, some ceiling tiles are recessed. For this reason, two
different styles of ceiling clips, recessed and flush rails, are available.
For new installations AIR-BRACKET-2 is recommended as it provides a little extra room and accomodates
earlier access points with modules, so it truly is a universal bracket.

Channel Rail Adapters
When mounting APs to ceiling channel rails such as the ones shown in Figure 14, an optional channel adapter
is used: AIR-CHNL-ADAPTER. It comes in a two-pack and attaches to the ceiling grid clip above.
