Mount an AP34 Access Point

This topic provides the various mounting options for the AP34. You can mount the AP on a wall, ceiling or junction box. The AP ships with a universal mounting bracket that you can use for all mounting options. To mount the AP on a ceiling, you'll need to order an additional adapter based on the type of ceiling.

Note:

We recommend that you claim your AP before you mount it. The claim code is located on the rear of the AP and it might be difficult to access the claim code after you mount the AP. For information about claiming an AP, see Claim a Juniper Access Point.

Universal Mounting Bracket (APBR-U) for Juniper Access Points

You use the universal mounting bracket APBR-U for all types of mounting options—for example, on a wall, a ceiling, or a junction box. Figure 1 shows the APBR-U. You'll need to use the numbered holes to insert screws when mounting the AP on a junction box. The numbered holes that you use vary based on the type of junction box.

Figure 1: Universal Mounting Bracket (APBR-U) for Juniper Access Points Technical diagram of a component with numbered labels for parts or features, indicating assembly or maintenance instructions.

If you're mounting the AP on a wall, use screws with the following specifications:

  • Diameter of the screw head: ¼ in. (6.3 mm)

  • Length: At least 2 in. (50.8 mm)

The following table lists the bracket holes that you need to use for specific mounting options.

Hole Number Mounting Option
1

  • US single-gang junction box

  • 3.5 in. round junction box

  • 4 in. round junction box
2

  • US double-gang junction box

  • Wall

  • Ceiling
3

  • US 4-in. square junction box
4

  • EU junction box

This is the new Mist BR-U bracket that works for all our indoor APs. We'll ship with the shoulder screws already installed, so attached to the BR-U bracket as follows. You will note a strong click when the locking lever engages. To remove, you need to gently push the lever out of the way and slide the AP back out.

Mount an Access Point on a Single-Gang or 3.5-Inch or 4-Inch Round Junction Box

You can mount an access point (AP) on a US single-gang or a 3.5-in. or 4-in. round junction box by using the universal mounting bracket (APBR-U) that we ship along with the AP. To mount an AP on a single-gang junction box:
  1. Attach the mounting bracket to the single-gang junction box by using two screws. Ensure that you insert the screws in the holes marked 1 as shown in Figure 2.

    Figure 11: Lock the Mounting Bracket (APBR-U) to a 9/16-in. or 15/16-in. T-Bar Diagram showing installation of a bracket with green arrows indicating rotational adjustment. Horizontal lines suggest attachment to a track system. Numbers 15/16 represent measurements or spacing.
  3. Position the AP such that the keyholes of the mounting bracket engage with the shoulder screws on the AP. Slide and lock the AP in place.
    Figure 12: Attach the AP to a 9/16-in. or 15/16-in. T-Bar Device installation process with green arrows showing upward mounting on left and downward securing on right.

You can directly connect to 9/16ths or 15/16ths T-bar by using these flanges and inserting the bracket as shown. You will hear a click when properly installed. To disconnect, please press the clips as shown and remove the AP. The AP would then be hung as shown. Again, to remove the AP, you must gently press the security lever while you slide it out.

Mount an Access Point on a Recessed 15/16-Inch T-Bar

You'll need to use an adapter (ADPR-ADP-RT15) along with the mounting bracket (APBR-U) to mount an access point (AP) on a recessed 15/16-in. ceiling T-bar. You need to order the ADPR-ADP-RT15 adapter separately.
  1. Attach the ADPR-ADP-RT15 adapter to the T-bar.
    Figure 13: Attach the ADPR-ADP-RT15 Adapter to the T-Bar Sliding mechanism with track and green arrows indicating adjustable movement direction. Part of assembly or installation guide.

Mount an Access Point on a Recessed 9/16-Inch T-Bar or Channel Rail

To mount an access point (AP) on a recessed 9/16-in. ceiling T-bar, you'll need to use the ADPR-ADP-CR9 adapter along with the mounting bracket (APBR-U).
  1. Attach the ADPR-ADP-CR9 adapter to the T-bar or channel rail.
    Figure 16: Attach the ADPR-ADP-CR9 Adapter to a Recessed 9/16-Inch T-Bar Technical illustration of a drawer slide mechanism with a green arrow indicating adjustment or release action.
    Figure 17: Attach the ADPR-ADP-CR9 Adapter to a Recessed 9/16-Inch Channel Rail Diagram of a rail mechanism for server racks with green arrows indicating movement direction for installation or adjustment.
  2. Attach the universal mounting bracket (APBR-U) to the adapter. Rotate the bracket until you hear a distinct click, which indicates that the bracket is locked in place.
    Figure 18: Attach the APBR-U Mounting Bracket to the ADPR-ADP-CR9 Adapter Technical illustration of a switch or connector on a rail showing rotational movement with green arrows indicating pivoting or adjustable function.
  3. Position the AP such that the keyholes of the mounting bracket engage with the shoulder screws on the AP. Slide and lock the AP in place.
    Figure 19: Attach the AP to a Recessed 9/16-in. T-Bar or Channel Rail Technical diagram showing a device with cables and arrows indicating a downward flow. Includes measurements and screws for assembly.

For recessed channel ceilings, we use this mount as shown to clip onto the channel. You could then attach the BRU just like you did with the T-bar install shown earlier. To remove it, it's the same process. Sometimes you need to mount to a recessed T-bar and this is the adapter for that, the same theory as the channel adapter.

Mount an Access Point on a 1.5-Inch T-Bar

To mount an access point (AP) on a 1.5-in. ceiling T-bar, you'll need the ADPR-ADP-WS15 adapter. You need to order the adapter separately.
