Mounting the WS-AP3825 to a Drop Ceiling
To mount the AP to a drop ceiling, use one of the mounting brackets provided with the AP. There are
brackets for flat drop ceilings and protruded drop ceilings.
•
Flat Drop Ceiling Bracket
Flat drop ceilings are those in which the ceiling tiles rest flat (or nearly so) on their supporting T-bar
rails. The flat drop ceiling bracket has a low flat profile, to mount the AP close against the T-bar rail.
•
Protruded Drop Ceiling Bracket
Protruded drop ceilings are those in which the ceiling tiles protrude well beyond the T-bar rails on
which they rest. The protruded drop ceiling bracket has an extended mount plate, allowing the AP to
hang below the protruded ceiling tiles.
Note
We recommend that the first time you mount an AP3825 to a drop ceiling T-bar rail, you try
mounting the bracket to a rail before attaching it to the back of an AP and mounting the AP
to the rail. This way you can get the "feel" of the tilt and twist motion described in step
page 17 in the procedure below, to make the bracket tabs clear the rail and slide over the rail
lip on both sides.
