Security Slot
Locking Tab
Note: Make sure that the ceiling tile is bigger than the EAP.
2
Place the mounting bracket in the center of the
ceiling tile. Mark three positions for the screw holes
and a position for the Ethernet cable hole.
Drill three 4mm diameter holes for the screws and a
25mm diameter hole for the Ethernet cable at the
marked positions.
1
Remove the ceiling tile.
3
Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile
using three M3x30 pan-head screws, washers and
wing nuts, as shown on the left.
4
Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole
and set the ceiling tile back into place.
5
Connect the Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET port.
Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by aligning
the arrow mark on the EAP with the arrow mark
on the mounting bracket, then rotate the EAP until
it locks into place, as shown on the left.

Option 2: Wall Mounting
2
Insert the plastic wall anchors into the 6mm
diameter holes.
Note: For security reasons, it is not recommended to install the EAP with the louver downward.
3
Secure the mounting bracket to the wall by driving
the self-tapping screws into the anchors. Make
sure that the shoulders of the mounting bracket
are on the outside.
4
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port
on the EAP.
5
Attach the EAP to the mounting bracket by
aligning the arrow mark on the EAP with the
arrow mark on the mounting bracket, then rotate

Note: EAP245 is used as an example throughout this guide. EAP225 diers in appearance.
The port is used to connect to the PoE port of the provided PoE adapter or a PSE (Power
Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE switch, for both data transmission and Power over
Ethernet (PoE) through Ethernet cable.
ETH1 (PoE)
The port is a Gigabit Ethernet port used for bridging.
ETH2 (Only for EAP245)
