Mounting the Access Point Above a Suspended Ceiling Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Follow these steps to mount your access point on a suspended ceiling: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Decide where you want to mount the access point on your suspended ceiling. Open the T-rail clip to the maximum width (see Figure 2-4). Place the T-rail clip over the T-rail and close it (see Figure 2-4) to the appropriate (A, B, or C) detent. Tighten the two T-rail locking screws to prevent the T-rail clip from sliding along the T-rail. Observe the T-rail width detent letter (A, B, or C) that corresponds to the T-rail width. Align the corresponding (A, B, or C) holes on the mounting plate over the T-rail mounting plate holes. Hold the mounting plate and insert a 6 x 32 x 1/4 in. flat head screw into each of the four corresponding (A, B, or C) holes and tighten. If needed, drill or cut a cable access hole (see Figure 2-6) large enough for the access point cables and pull the cables through the access hole until you have about 1 foot of exposed cables protruding from the hole. To attach the access point to the mounting plate, see "Attaching the Access Point to the Mounting Plate" section on page 2-16. Mounting the Access Point Above a Suspended Ceiling The access point mounting bracket is designed to be integrated into the T-bar grid above the tiles of a suspended ceiling. The access point uses a T-bar box hanger (not supplied) such as the Erico Caddy 512 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. Caution Only the fiber-optic power injector (AIR-PWRINJ-FIB) has been tested to UL 2043 for operation in a building's environmental air space; the AIR-PWRINJ3 power injector and the power module are not tested to UL 2043 and should not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings. Caution Cisco does not sell Ethernet cable rated for use in a building environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings. You must obtain special Ethernet cable with the appropriate rating. 2-14 Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide OL-8369-05
