Remove the ceiling panels around the drop ceiling T‐bar rail and verify that the Ethernet cable can reach the AP at the mounting point. Slightly lift the movable T‐bar locking tab to increase the space between the stationary and the movable T‐bar sides of the bracket. Then hook the stationary end of the T‐bar bracket onto the T‐bar, as shown in Figure 2‐2. While holding the AP with one hand, reach the other hand over the T‐bar and grasp both the stationary and movable sides of the bracket. Push the bracket parts together so they both grasp the T‐bar and the locking tab clicks into place. While still holding the AP, rock it back and forth to ensure that it is securely mounted. Figure 2-2 Attaching the AP3935i on a drop ceiling T-bar rail Make a hole through the ceiling panel closest to the power slot on the AP. Run the Ethernet cable through the hole and into an RJ45 LAN port in the recessed connector bay. If necessary, cut the tiles for the cables, attach the cables to the AP, and replace the tiles. Replace the displaced ceiling panels. Mounting the AP3935 to a Wall Screws for attaching the AP to a wall are supplied with the product. Use the following procedure to mount the AP3935 to a flat wall: Determine the spot on the wall to mount the AP. Pick a spot near the ceiling, but in reach of the Ethernet cable and if you are using external power, near a wall power outlet. To mount the AP directly on the wall with two screws, use the provided template and mark the two drill holes on the wall. In drywall, the drill holes should be 6MM to 0.250ʺ in diameter. Drill two holes in the wall to match the center of the two keyhole slots in the back of the AP bracket. Screw the anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall. Screw the provided mounting screws into the anchors with the head protruding about 5/32” ...
Figure 2-3 Mounting the AP3935 to a Flat Wall. Place the back of the AP against the wall with the protruding mounting screw heads fitting through the keyhole slots on the back of the AP. Slide the AP down until the AP rests on the mounting screw heads. When mounting the AP on a wall or flat ceiling, a Kensington lock provides extra stability. NOTE The mounting bracket (30513, WS-MBI-WALL03) is optional when mounting the AP on a wall. If mounting the AP on a flat ceiling, we recommend using the mounting bracket (30513, WS-MBI-WALL03) for added security.
Use a magnetic screw driver to attach the small screw. Do NOT exceed 12 in‐lbs of torque. Use a Kensington lock for added security (see Figure 1‐5 on page 6). LAN/Console Connections NOTE LAN/Console connectors with shrouds will not fit into the ports. An optional jumper cable may be used or the shroud removed. The AP3935 has 2 LAN ports and a Console port. Power is provided through two Ethernet ports (LAN ports). This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and wall installations. The AP can be powered in one of the following ways: • Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power is provided through the RJ45 Ethernet port (LAN port) on the top of the AP. This is the preferred method of powering the AP on ceiling and high wall installations. • Power by external power supply Where a PoE‐capable Ethernet connection is unavailable or impractical, an external 12V DC power supply may be ordered separately to power the AP from a standard AC wall outlet.
