recessed above the surface of the ceiling tile.

slots to narrower rails (recessed or flush)
Desk stand. Use the desk stand to support the AP on a desk or shelf.
This installation note describes how to attach and use the ceiling mount adapters and desk stand.
For complete information about selecting the location and setting up the AP, see the Alcatel OAW-

standard, non-recessed 15/16-inch (1.4 cm) ceiling tile rail; the optional mounting kit is not required for
this installation. The mounting kit includes adapters that allow you to mount the OAW-AP120 series unit
on a recessed or non-recessed standard 9/16-inch (1.4 cm) rail or on a recessed standard 15/16-inxh (1.4

degrees to the slot guides (see
2. Twist the adapter clockwise until it snaps into place in the slot guides (see
