Installation & Basic Configuration
Installing the AP-600 in a Plenum
In an office building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air
circulate. Many companies also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. However, these
products and cables must comply with certain safety requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) Standard 2043:
"Standard for Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Discrete Products and Their Accessories Installed in
Air-Handling Spaces".
The AP-600 has been certified under UL Standard 2043 and can be installed in the plenum only when the following
conditions apply:
•
The unit uses Active Ethernet (AE) to receive power over a plenum-rated Category 5 Ethernet cable (the
power cable must not be connected to the unit).
•
The unit's plastic covers have been removed (this includes the cable cover, the front cover, and the back
cover).
Kensington Security Slot
The AP-600 enclosure includes a Kensington Security Slot for use with a Kensington locking mechanism. When
properly installed, a Kensington lock can prevent unauthorized personnel from stealing the AP-600. In addition, the
Kensington locks secures the cable cover in place, which prevents tampering with the Ethernet and power cables.
The Kensington Security Slot is shown in the illustrations below (the figure on the left shows the slot with the cable
cover attached; the figure on the right shows the slot with the cable cover removed). See
for information on Kensington security solutions.
