2.4.2 Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Installations
A suspended ceiling mount requires holding the access point up against the T-bar of a suspended
ceiling grid and twisting the access point chassis onto the T-bar.
The mounting tools (customer provided) and hardware required to install the access point on a ceiling
T-bar consists of:
• Safety wire (recommended and customer supplied)
• Security cable (optional and customer supplied)
To install the access point on a ceiling T-bar:
1. Motorola recommends you loop a safety wire — with a diameter of at least 1.01 mm (.04
in.), but no more than 0.158 mm (.0625 in.) — through the tie post (above the access point's
console connector) and secure the loop.
2. If desired, install and attach a security cable to the access point lock port.
3. Attach the antennas to their correct connectors.
For information on the antennas available to the access point, see "
page 5.
CAUTION
4. Cable the access point using either the Power Injector solution or an approved line cord and
power supply.
For Motorola Power Injector installations:
a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host)
and the Power Injector Data In connector.
b. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data &
Power Out connector and the access point's GE1/POE port.
c. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and
access point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Injector has no On/Off
power switch. The Power Injector receives power as soon as AC power is applied. For
more information, see "
For standard power adapter (non Power Injector) and line cord installations:
Ensure you are placing the antennas on the correct connectors
(depending on your single or dual-radio model and frequency used) to
ensure the successful operation of the access point.
