Note: Make sure that the ceiling tile is larger than the Festa AP.

Washers
Pan-head Screws
Wing Nuts

Remove the ceiling tile.
Place the mounting bracket in the center of the ceiling tile. Mark positions for the screw holes and a location for the Ethernet cable hole.
Drill holes for the screws and a hole for the Ethernet cable at the marked positions.
Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling tile using pan-head screws, washers, and wing nuts, as shown on the left.
Feed the Ethernet cable through the hole and set the ceiling tile back into place.
