Install the AP832e
Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount AP832e above suspended ceiling T-rails. The
installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP832e attaches to the T-
bar box hanger. Note that AP832e mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than
AP832e mounted under the ceiling.
You may need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation.
To mount an AP832e above the ceiling with the optional T-bar kit, follow these steps:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rails where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling
tile.
2. Unpack the T-bar hanger kit.
3. Attach the mounting bar (depicted in Figure 7) to the mounting brace (which looks like a small
handle) with the crossbar of the mounting kit sandwiched between them. See Figure 8.

Warning! When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling,
power the AP832e only with a PoE, not a power supply.
