Meru Networks AP832 Installation Manual page 24

Installing AP832i
Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount AP832i above suspended ceiling T-rails. The
installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP832i attaches to the T-
bar box hanger. Note that AP832i mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than
AP832i mounted under the ceiling.
You may need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation.
Warning! When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling,
power the AP832i only with a PoE, not a power supply.
To mount an AP832i above the ceiling with the optional T-bar kit, follow these steps:
1. Determine the location on the ceiling rails where the AP will be mounted and remove the ceiling
tile.
2. Unpack the T-bar hanger kit.
3. Attach the mounting bar (depicted in
handle) with the crossbar of the mounting kit sandwiched between them. See
