Installing AP1014i
Use the optional T-bar box hanger mounting kit to mount AP1014i above suspended ceiling T-rails. The
installation attaches the T-bar box hanger to the ceiling rails and then the AP1014i attaches to the T-
bar box hanger. Note that AP1014i mounted above the ceiling has about 2-3 dBm less RF coverage than
AP1014i 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 AP1014i only with a PoE, not a power supply. See
numbers.
To mount an AP1014i 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. Unlock the AP using the provided key.
