    Mounting options You can mount the access point to a solid surface (a wall or a ceiling), or to a ceiling with a 15/16 in. (23.8 mm) T-bar, or you can install the access point freestanding on a flat surface. We recommend that you use a flat Ethernet cable so that the cable fits in the narrow space between the access point and the surface on which it is mounted or placed.

The locking tab must be at the front of the access point. 2. Hold the access point upside down. Note: If you can reach behind the T‑bar, hold the T‑bar with one hand and the access point with your other hand.
