Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Installations

A suspended ceiling mount requires holding the access point up against the T-bar of a suspended ceiling grid and twisting the access point chassis onto the T-bar.

The mounting tools (customer provided) and hardware required to install the access point on a ceiling T-bar consists of:

●Safety wire (recommended and customer supplied)

●Security cable (optional and customer supplied)

To install the access point on a ceiling T-bar:

1Extreme Networks recommends you loop a safety wire — with a diameter of at least 1.01 mm. (.04 in.), but no more than 0.158 mm (.0625 in.) — through the tie post (above the access point’s console connector) and secure the loop.

2If desired, install and attach a security cable to the access point lock port.

3Attach the antennas to their correct connectors.

4For information on the antennas available to the access point, see “Antenna Options” on page 14.

CAUTION

Ensure you are placing the antennas on the correct connectors to ensure the successful operation of the access point.

5Cable the access point using either the Power Injector solution or the power supply. For Power Injector installations:

a Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Injector Data In connector.

b Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector and the access point’s GE1/POE port.

c Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source to the Power Injector and access point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Injector has no On/Off
