back box and tile bridge over top. Attach the
hanger wires to the f our tabs located on the
corners of the back box and then to a permanent
structure within the ceiling. Slide the cables
through the conduit connector and sna p the
Firestop Grommet over the cables (F igure 3).
Make sure there is enough slack in the cabling to
attach to the access point.

NOTE: A surface mount box (or biscuit jack) and
equipment cord can be conveniently mounted
inside the Model 1044. (Non-plenum rated cables
can be used inside a plenum rated enclosure).
Use an adhesive backed surface mount box.
Consider bend radius of horizontal cable and
equipment cord when attaching the surface m ount
box.

Step 4 – To attach the access point to the trim, first remove
the two hex nuts that hold the aluminum mounting plate to
the painted trim piece. Next attach the Cisco AIR-­_BRACKET-2 to the mounting plate using the four (4)
screws provided. The Cisco mounting bracket should be
aligned so t hat the Et hernet jacks of the access point will
face toward the cut out area of Oberon mounting plate
(Figure 4).

Step 5 - Af ter the Cisco mounting bracket has been installed
on the Oberon mounting plate, attach the Cisco 3800 to the
Cisco AIR-BRACKET-2. To finish the trim assembly, re­attach the painted trim using the nuts removed in St ep 4.

Step 6 - Insert trim assembly through the cutout hole
in the ceiling tile so that the threaded studs go
through the outer holes in the tile bridge. Use the
supplied wing nuts to tighten the trim us to the
ceiling tile. The trim should be tightened so the it is
snug against tile, however, do not over tighten as it
may damage either the tile or trim
