When you are done, adjust the ceiling tiles back into their former position.
You can tie the cables to the tie points (small arched strips) on the mounting plate to prevent them
from being pulled out of their connections accidentally.

Drill a hole in the ceiling tile and feed cables
through here.

Press the track clips against the ceiling
track and swivel them until they snap into
place, gripping the edges of the track.
If necessary, slide one or both of the clips
along the track to position them at the
proper distance (2 1/4” or 7 cm) to fit
through the holes in the mounting plate.
Insert the mounting plate over the screws attached
to the track clips, and use the Keps nuts to fasten
the plate firmly to the screws on the clips.
Use a wrench to tighten the nuts firmly to the
bolts and secure the plate to the track.

Through the oblong opening in the plate, drill
a hole in the ceiling tile (not shown). Then
pass one or both Ethernet cables through the
hole, and if you plan to supply power from an
AC power source rather than through PoE,
pass the power cable through as well.
With the AP upside down, align
its port side with the bottom
end of the plate.
Push the AP upward, inserting
the four tabs on the plate
into the four slots on the AP.
Slide the A toward the bottom end
of the plate, locking the tabs
inside the slots.
Attach the antennas and
connect the cables to
complete the installation.
