AP6522E Access Point
2.7 External Antenna Model Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Mount
Ceiling mount requires holding the AP-6522E Access Point up against a T-bar of a suspended ceiling grid and
twisting the case onto the T-bar. If deploying an external antenna model AP-6522E on a ceiling T-Bar, Access Point
mounting kit (Part No. KT-135628-01) or ceiling mount hardware (SCT-2) is required.
2.7.1 Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Mount Procedure - Using Mounting Kit
The following installation uses the Access Point mounting kit (Part No. KT-135628-01) to deploy the Access Point
on a ceiling T-Bar.
1. If required, install and attach a Kensington security cable (customer provided) to the unit’s lock port.
2. Using only the mounting bracket from the mounting kit, rotate and click the mounting bracket into the
mounting slots on the AP-6522E.
3. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Access Point to a controller with an 802.3af compatible power source
or use the PWRS-14000-148R power supply to supply power to the AP-6522E (once fully cabled).
4. With the ceiling tile raised, slip the T-Bar bracket on to the exposed T-Bar flange.
5. Lower the ceiling tile and verify the stability of the T-Bar mounting bracket connection. There will be no
stability in this assembly until the ceiling tile is lowered on to the T-Bar to secure the mounting hardware.
6. Verify the unit has power by observing the LEDs.
2.7.2 Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Mount Procedure - Using Ceiling Hardware
The following installation uses the Access Point ceiling mounting kit (Part No. SCT-2) to deploy the Access Point
on a ceiling T-Bar.
1.
If required, install and attach a Kensington security cable (customer provided) to the unit’s lock port.
2.
Remove nut from the SCT-2 kit and place assembly and screw through Access Point mounting ear.
3.
Place the clips from the SCT-2 ceiling mount kit over ceiling T-Bar.
4.
Tighten clips using provided nuts.
CAUTION
If not using an 802.3af capable controller to power the AP-6522E,
ensure only the AP-6522E’s designated power supply
(PWRS-14000-148R) is used to supply power to the Access Point.
Using an incorrectly rated power supply could damage the unit and
void the product warranty. Do not actually connect to the power
source until the cabling portion of the installation is complete.
