Suspended ceiling T-bar installations
A suspended ceiling mount requires holding the Mobility 7131 up against the T-bar
of a suspended ceiling grid and twisting the Mobility 7131 chassis onto the T-bar.
The mounting tools (customer provided) and hardware required to install the
Mobility 7131 on a ceiling
T-bar consists of:
•
Safety wire (recommended and customer supplied)
•
Security cable (optional and customer supplied)
To install the Mobility 7131 on a ceiling T-bar:
1. Brocade 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 Mobility 7131’s console connector) and secure the loop.
2. If desired, install and attach a security cable to the Mobility 7131 lock port.
3. Attach the antennas to their correct connectors.
For information on the antennas available to the Mobility 7131, see
CAUTION
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 Mobility 7131.
4. Cable the Mobility 7131 using either Power over Ethernet (PoE) or an approved
line cord and power supply.
For PoE installations, connect an RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable
between a PoE switch port and the BR7131 GE1/POE port.
For standard power adapter and line cord installations:
a. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host)
and the Mobility 7131 GE1/POE or GE2 port.
b. Verify the power adapter is correctly rated according the country of
operation.
c. Connect the power supply line cord to the power adapter.
