axes, providing the same coverage. For example, if the access point is mounted on a horizontal
surface, both antennas should be positioned pointing vertically up to provide optimum coverage.
Attaching the Access Point to a Suspended Ceiling
To mount the access point to a suspended ceiling T-rail (Figure 4-4), do the following:
1. Attach the plastic ceiling tile mounting clamp to the mounting bracket (Figure 4-3) using the two
included screws. Note that the ceiling-mount clamp can be attached to the bracket in two
orientations.

2. Attach the access point to the mounting bracket by aligning the two mounting points on the
bracket with the two mounting slots on the bottom of the access point (Figure 4-2). Then screw
down the fastening screw to secure the access point to the bracket.
3. Choose a location on a ceiling T-rail where the access point will be installed and position the
ceiling-mount clamp holders on either side of the T-rail.
4. Turn the access point until the two clips lock the T-rail into the mounting holders.
5. For best coverage, position the antennas along the same axes.
