1. Attach the Ethernet protection device to the building at the entry point of the shielded Ethernet cable from
the AP170.
2. Make the following connections, as shown in Figure 8 :
• Ground the device by running a wire from the grounding stud to a grounded object, such as a water
pipe, gas pipe, or grounding rod.
• Connect the shielded Ethernet cable from the AP170 to the port labeled "Line Side", and connect
another Ethernet cable from the port labeled "Equipment Side" to the network.
