  • Page 11: Suspended Ceiling (Lightweight Steel Frame) Installation

    You cannot screw into ceiling tiles as they are weak and not suitable for bearing loads. Your VigorAP is supplied with mounts (T-Rail brackets) which attach directly to the metal grid (‘T-Rail’) of your suspended ceiling. Choose one set of T-Rail mounting kits from the bundled package. Put the T-Rail brackets on the holes of the bottom side of the device.

    For wall-mounting, the VigorAP has keyhole type mounting slots on the underside. You can fit the AP at any axis (i.e. 12, 3, 6 or 9 O’Clock) to allow for cable entry from the most convenient location if you are using side entry – note the position of the side entry cable cutout.
