time of configuration. If the customer does not choose a bracket, the selection default is
AIR-AP-BRACKET-1, which is the most popular for ceiling installations. The other choice is a universal
bracket that carries part number AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 (Figure 12).
Figure 12 Access Point Bracket Choices - If You Are Using the AP 3600 Module, We Recommend
AIR-AP-Bracket-2
If the AP needs to be mounted directly to a ceiling on the gridwork, then AIR-AP-BRACKET-1 is
mounted flush and has the lowest profile. However, if the AP is 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
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
(Figure 13).

Channel Rail Adapters - Cisco Part Number AIR-CHNL-ADAPTER
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
shown above. Refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15.
