2.4.2 Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Installations
A suspended ceiling mount requires holding the AP-7131 up against the T-bar of a suspended ceiling
grid and twisting the AP-7131 chassis onto the T-bar.
The mounting tools (customer provided) and hardware required to install the AP-7131 on a ceiling
T-bar consists of:
• Safety wire (recommended and customer supplied)
• Security cable (optional and customer supplied)
To install the AP-7131 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 AP-7131's
console connector) and secure the loop.
2. If desired, install and attach a security cable to the AP-7131 lock port.
3. Attach the antennas to their correct connectors.
For information on the antennas available to the AP-7131, see

CAUTION
4. Cable the AP-7131 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 AP-7131 GE1/POE port.
c. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Injector and
AP-7131 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 AP-7131.
