push the AP upward until it clicks into place as shown in Figure 5.

When you are done, adjust the ceiling tiles back into their former position.
Surface Mount
You can use the flat mounting plate to attach the AP121 or AP141 to any surface that supports its weight
(AP121: 11.6 oz or 0.36 kg; AP141: 13.5 oz or 0.42 kg), and to which you can screw or nail the plate. First,
mount the plate to the surface, and then attach the device to the plate, as shown in Figure 6.

surface, attach the mounting plate to a

cables through to the AP, and connect them.
(You can also run the cables along the wall to
the AP instead of through a hole.)
Depending on how the AP is powered and how
it connects to the network, connect a power

not shown in this illustration.)
Align the tabs and security tab extension on
the mounting plate with the tab slots and
security screw cavity on the AP.
