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
covers located on the outside edge of the
back box to install cable clamps. Install
one cable clamp if using P.O.E. or install 2
cable clamps if bringing in power and
Ethernet and power separately.

Step 2 – (Aruba APs Only) Install the access point so that
the three antenna connectors are facing toward the door
lock. Securely fasten the access point’s mounting plate to
the mounting holes on the back wall of the enclosure using
(4) # 8-32 screws. Attach the screws to the outer hole
pattern. Attach the Access Point to the mounting plate.
Attach antennas to the access point and clip to the door.
Proceed to Step 3.
Step 3 – If applicable, install the Aruba Networks AP-ANT-16 antenna per the instructions included with it. After installation,
connect the RF coax cable from the antenna to the access point.
The assembled unit is now ready for ceiling installation.
Step 4 – Remove the ceiling tile and replace it with the completed access point enclosure assembly.
Step 5 – Use minimum 12-gauge grid wire (included) to attach the access point enclosure to the ceiling. Attach one end of the
wire to the eye tabs located along the edge of the back box and the other end to a permanent structure within the ceiling such
as a ceiling joist.
**IMPORTANT** - This is an important safety feature that could prevent human injury or damage to the access
point should the unit become dislodged from the ceiling.

Step 6 – Run the data and power cable (if required) through the conduit connectors located on sides of the access point
enclosure. In order to maintain a separation of signal and power, install the data and power cables through opposite sides of
the enclosure utilizing the two knock-outs provided. Pull the data cable through the conduit connector far enough to allow
attachment to the access point (8" - 10"). Snap the grommet on to the cable and slide it inside the conduit connector.
Step 7 – Attach data and power cables to the access point through the access door then tighten the screws on the cable
clamp.
Step 8 – Close and lock the access door. The installation is now completed.
The Oberon Model 1052-AN-ANT16 access point enclosure is specifically designed to be used with the Aruba AP-120,
and AP-124 access points.
