Use an electric drill when mounting Aironets.
Cisco Aironets, which are access points for wireless connections, feature two separate models that you can hang from a ceiling. Both the Aironet 1100 and 1200 series come with their own hanging brackets, which are designed to hang on walls and ceilings for convenience. Aironets are lightweight, making the mounting process simple and fast. The ' brackets feature slotted screw holes that you can slide fasteners into to secure the items to the ceiling.
Instructions
1. Determine the Aironet mounting location on the ceiling, keeping cable paths in mind.
2. Insert a 1/4-inch auger bit into an electric drill. Hold the mounting bracket to the ceiling. Find the bracket's two slotted ceiling mount holes, which are located near the larger cable opening at the center of the bracket.
3. Drill through the ceiling using the ceiling mounting holes as a guide for correct placement. Set the Aironet mount to the side.
4. Insert the pop toggles' tapered ends into each drilled hole in the ceiling. Tap the back sides of each toggle to seat the toggle caps flush to the ceiling. Insert a threaded fastener into each pop toggle and turn it in a clockwise direction. Stop rotating the fastener when the screw head is 1/4 inch from the ceiling.
5. Place the mounting bracket up to the ceiling. Slip the toggle fastener heads through the mounting bracket slots. Slide the mounting bracket so that the fastener heads slip over the slots' thinner ends.
6. Tighten the toggle fasteners using a Phillips screwdriver to secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling. Run the cable through the mounting bracket and connect it to your Aironet. Attach the Aironet to the mounting bracket.
