Mounting on a suspended ceiling
The AP can be mounted on a suspended ceiling using the supplied T-bar clips. Two sets of T-bar
clips are provided, a 12.5 mm set for recessed tiles and a 4.5 mm set for flush-mount tiles.

4: Flat tile 4.5 mm T-bar clip
2: Recessed tile 12.5 mm T-bar clip
1.
Slide one of the T-bar clips into the AP Bracket T-bar slot. Screw it into place using two of the
four provided self-tapping screws. Select the screw holes marked according to the width of
your T-bar, one of 9/16", 15/16", or 1.5". (The other T-bar clip must be attached to the AP
Bracket from above the false ceiling, after the bracket is in place on the T-bar.)
WARNING!
Areas above false ceilings may contain dangerous electrical cabling, gas pipes,
and other hazards. Make whatever safety arrangements are needed to ensure that you can
work safely above the false ceiling. It is recommended that you use a non-conductive step
ladder such as one made of fiberglass
.
2.
Normally, you will need to position yourself at shoulder-height above the ceiling so that you
can attach the second T-bar clip. Remove/relocate two ceiling tiles, one on each side of the
T-bar on which you will perform the installation.
3.
Carrying a screw driver, the AP Bracket with T-bar clip attached, and the other T-bar clip and
two screws, position yourself approximately 60 cm (2 feet) above the T-bar on which you will
install the AP Bracket.
4.
Attach the AP Bracket with the already-installed T-bar clip onto the T-bar, and then slide the
other T-bar clip into the AP Bracket T-bar clip slot and screw it in place so that both T-bar clips
firmly grip the T-bar.
5.
Tighten all four T-bar clip screws fully and verify that the AP Bracket is firmly anchored to the
T-bar from both sides.
6.
Re-install the ceiling tile through which you will pass the Ethernet cable.
