2.4.2 Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Installation

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:

1. Motorola Solutions 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.

2. If desired, install and attach a security cable to the Access Point lock port.

3. Attach the antennas to their correct connectors.

For more information on the antenna options available to the Access Point, see

CAUTION

4. Cable the Access Point using either the Power Injector solution or an approved line cord and power supply.

For Motorola Power Injector installations:

a. Connect an RJ-45 CAT5 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power

Injector's Data In connector.

b. Connect an RJ-45 CAT5 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector's Data & Power Out connector

and the Access Point's GE1/POE port.

c. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and Access Point does

not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Injector has no On/Off power switch. The Power Injector

receives power as soon as AC power is applied. For more information, see

For standard power adapter (non Power Injector) and line cord installations:

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

Access Point's GE1/PoE or GE2 port.

b. Verify the power adapter is correctly rated according the country of operation.

c. Connect the power supply line cord to the power adapter.

d. Attach the power adapter cable into the power connector on the Access Point.

Ensure you are placing the antennas on the correct connectors

(depending on your single or dual-radio model and frequency used) to

ensure the successful operation of the Access Point.
