Suspended Ceiling Tile T-Bar Mount
Mounting the Radio Port 230 or 210 to a suspended ceiling T-Bar grid consists of attaching the Radio Port to the
underside of a T-Bar in a suspended ceiling grid, and twisting the Radio Port to lock the case onto the T-Bar.
Ceiling Mount Hardware
• Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional)
Ceiling Mount Procedure
1. Lift the ceiling tiles around the T-Bar where the Radio Port is to be installed.
2. If required, loop a safety wire, between 1.01mm (.04in.) and 1.58mm (.0625in.) in diameter, around the safety
wire tie point and secure the loop. Attach the opposite end of the safety wire to a secure point on the ceiling
or T-bar grid.
3. If required, install and attach a security cable to the Radio Port's lock port. The lock port, compatible with
laptop-style security cables, is on the side of the Radio Port case. Secure the opposite end of the security
cable to a secure, stationary point on the ceiling.
4. Plug the Ethernet cable into the Radio Port's RJ-45 jack and connect the opposite end of the cable to a switch
with an 802.3af-compatible power source. Thread the Ethernet cable through the suspended ceiling T-Bar grid
on the side of the T-Bar where the top of the Radio Port will be located after installation.
5. Position the Radio Port so the back of the Radio Port faces the bottom of the T-Bar. The Radio Port's RJ-45 jack
should be positioned on the same side of the T-Bar as the Ethernet cable descending from above the ceiling.
Position the Radio Port case so that the T-Bar fits into the channel formed into the underside of the Radio Port
case (see diagram).
6. To install the Radio Port on the T-Bar, slide the Radio Port so that the T-Bar Suspension Clip on the opposite
side of the Radio Port case from the RJ-45 connector slips over the T-Bar. Then rotate the Radio Port slightly
(approximately 15 degrees), to lock the remaining T-Bar Suspension Clip into place on the T-Bar. (see diagram).
The T-Bar Retaining Clip will click into place as the Suspension Clips fasten onto the T-Bar.
7. Verify the Radio Port has power by observing the LED indicators
8. Tuck the Ethernet cable into the cable recess on the underside of the Radio Port so that the cable lies next to
the T-Bar. Replace the ceiling tiles around the T-Bar to complete the installation.
