Attaching The Ap To The Ceiling Mount Assembly - Enterasys WS-AP3710i Installation Manual

2. Attach the second T-bar rail clamp to the bracket with its two screw holes matching up to the
pair of countersink holes at the width needed for the rails you have, as shown
the screws into the mount bracket countersink holes from beneath, no more than one or two
turns so the second clamp is attached but loose.
3. Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T-bar rails where you intend to mount the
AP. Verify that the Ethernet cable that will connect to the AP can reach the AP at the point
where you plan to mount it.
4. Hold the bracket and clamp assembly in one hand with the two clamps spread and held apart
by a finger, and fit the edges of the clamps over the T-bar rail on both sides of the rail at once.
Release the clamps over the rail and tighten the screws the rest of the way in the countersink
holes.
5. Fit the back of the AP against the mounting bracket with the locking tab aligned with the lock
screw hole, and slide it backward so that the end of the AP is against the locking tab, as shown
in Figure 2-2.

6. Screw the mounting screw into the locking tab and hole to secure the AP in place
(Figure 2-2).
Warning: If the screw is not inserted as described in this step, there is a strong risk the
Enterasys Wireless AP3710/AP3725 will fall from the bracket.
7. Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the connector bay on the AP. Then run the
Ethernet cable through the hole and into the LAN port (RJ45 Ethernet port) in the connector
bay.
8. Replace the displaced ceiling panels.
