Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling
The access point mounting bracket is designed to be integrated into the T-bar grid above the tiles of a

or B-Line BA12 and should be oriented just above the top surface of a standard 5/8-in. (1.59 cm) ceiling
tile. You may need to modify a thicker tile to allow room for the access point.
Follow these steps to mount the access point above a suspended ceiling. Refer
