WS-AP3705i Installation Procedures
Enterasys Wireless WS-AP3705i Install Guide 2-5
4. Align the WS-AP3705i with the ceiling mount assembly so that the rivet hole on the AP is 
about 1” from the locking tab, then push the mounting clips on the AP bottom up through the 
mount slots on the ceiling mount bracket and twist the AP until the clips snap over the flanges 
on the end of the slots. 
Figure 2-3 shows the AP mounting operation from a perspective above 
the T-bar rail, in which case the twist is clockwise. From a perspective below the AP, you are 
turning the AP in a counterclockwise motion.

5. Press the plastic rivet (included in protruded drop ceiling mount kit) through the ceiling 
mount locking tab (Figure 2-3) into the rivet hole on the side of the AP (Figure 2-3). Once 
the rivet is seated in the hole push the top towards the AP until it stops. 
To remove the AP from the mount plate, reverse the rivet procedure using a small screwdriver 
to unlock/open the rivet head.
6. Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the power slot on the AP. Then run the 
Ethernet cable through the hole and into the LAN port (RJ45 Ethernet port) in the recessed 
connector bay.
7. Replace the displaced ceiling panels.
