6. When done, adjust the ceiling tiles back into their former position.
You can also mount the AP to a solid ceiling—or the underside of any horizontal object such as a
cross beam—using three #6 or #8 screws. Position the three screws in a T-shaped layout: two
screws 2" (5 cm) apart from each other and the third screw center-aligned between them and
4.75" (12 cm) away. Then attach the AP to the screws as explained in

Locking the AP

To lock the AP to a secure object, use a Kensington lock and cable. Loop the cable around a securely
anchored object, insert the Kensington lock in the device lock slot in the AP, and engage the locking
mechanism (Figure 7).
