plug it into the wall.
Mount AP300 Below a Suspended Ceiling
The optional suspended ceiling mounting kit (ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT) allows the AP300 mounting bracket
to attach to suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 9).
Note:
To comply with NEC code, attach a grounding wire to any of the screws used to attach the AP300
to the mounting bracket.
Figure 9: Mounting any AP to a Suspended Ceiling Rail using ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT
To mount an AP300 below a suspended ceiling:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rail where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling
tiles.
2. Place each of the two caddy fasteners on the ceiling T-rail and twist to attach to the rail.
3. Adjust the distance between the caddy fasteners by using the mounting bracket holes as a guide.
4. Tighten the caddy fasteners in place using a standard screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
5. Place each spacer on the caddy fastener stud. The spacer legs should contact the ceiling T-rail.
6. Align the mounting bracket keyholes with the caddy fastener studs and slide the AP300 to the
narrow end of the hole.
7. Attach a keps nut to each caddy fastener stud and hand tighten. Do not overtighten.
Caution!
Be sure to connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port; the cable can
mistakenly be plugged into the Console port. If you do this, the AP won’t power up.
