Find a flat work surface to assemble the
ceiling enclosure, access point and
antenna(s) prior to mounting in ceiling.
Step 1 – Place the ceiling enclosure
assembly on the work surface with the
keyed doorway unlocked. Remove hole
knock outs located on the outside edge of
the back box to install conduit connectors.
Install one conduit connector if equipment
is powered over the data cable, or install 2
conduit connectors on opposite sides of
the back box if bringing in power and data
cables separately (Ref. Figure 1).
Step 2 –Install the access point’s mounting
plate to the enclosure’s “T-Bar” mount using
the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching
the mounting bracket to a ceiling tile grid (T-
Bar). Attach the Access Point to the mounting
plate. (Ref. Figure 2) Proceed to Step 3
Note: For access points with integrated
antennas, the access point should be
positioned such that its front face (where the
antennas are) is largely within the plastic
dome. This can be done by using additional
standoffs beneath the T-bar bracket if
necessary.

Step 2 – (Aruba AP114, AP134, AP224) For some
products with external dipole antennas, such as the
Aruba AP134, it may be beneficial to move the T-Bar
mount so that it is located nearer to the hinge. This will
allow you to more easily place the access point’s
antennas in the dome. To move the T-Bar mount,
remove the two screws that hold it in place and use the
alternate mounting position indicated by the arrows (Ref.
Figure 3). Due to limited space, it may be beneficial to
attach the access point to the T-Bar mount prior to re-
installing it into the enclosure. Proceed to Step 3
Note: The access point should be positioned so that 2/3
or more of the dipole antenna is within the plastic dome.
This can be done by using additional standoffs beneath
the T-bar bracket if necessary.
Step 3 – Remove the ceiling tile and replace it with the
completed access point enclosure assembly.
Step 4 – Use minimum 12-gauge support wire (included) to support the access point enclosure independently of the ceiling
grid. Attach one end of the wire to the support wire tabs located along the edge of the back box and the other end to a
permanent supporting structure within the ceiling such as a ceiling joist (Figure 4).
