Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling

Figure 3-2 before beginning the process.
Figure 3-2 Suspended Ceiling Mounting Bracket Parts
Step 1 Determine the location at which to mount the access point.
Step 2 Attach two caddy fasteners to the ceiling’s T-rail.
Step 3 Use the wall or ceiling mounting bracket to adjust the distance between the caddy fasteners so that they
align with the holes in the bracket.
The distance between the caddy fastener studs is 2.5 in (6.35 cm).
Step 4 Use a standard screwdriver to tighten the caddy fastener studs in place on the T-rail. Do not overtighten.
Step 5 Install a plastic spacer on each caddy fastener stud. The spacer’s legs should contact the ceiling grid
T-rail.
Step 6 Attach the wall or ceiling mounting bracket to the caddy fastener studs and start a Keps nut on each stud.
Step 7 Use a wrench or pliers to tighten the Keps nuts. Do not overtighten.
