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 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 (and customer supplied)
To install the access point 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 console connector) and
secure the loop.
2. If desired, install and attach a security cable to the access point’s lock port.
3. Attach the radio antennas to their correct connectors.
4. For more information on available antennas, see
5. Cable the access point using an approved power supply.
CAUTION
Do not supply power to the access point until the cabling of the unit is complete.
For standard 48-Volt Power Adapter (Part No. 50-14000-247R) and line cord installations:
a. Connect a RJ-45 CAT5e (or CAT6) Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host)
and the access point’s GE1/POE 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.
d. Attach the power adapter cable into the power connector on the access point.
e. Plug the power adapter into an outlet.
6. Verify the behavior of the LEDs. For more information, see
7. Align the bottom of the ceiling T-bar with the back of the access point.
8. Orient the access point’s chassis by its length and the length of the ceiling T-bar.
