Note: You can also mount the HiveAP 100 series device to a solid ceiling—or the underside of any horizontal
object such as a cross beam—using three #6 or #8 screws. Position the three screws in a T-shaped layout:
two screws 2" (5 cm) apart from each other and the third screw center-aligned between them and 4.75" (12
cm) away. Then attach the HiveAP to the screws as explained in "Surface Mount" on page 87.
Twist the clip until the prongs
snap into place and grip the
edges of the track.
If necessary, slide the clip along
the track to position it exactly
where you want it to be.
