Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection 

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components and 
cause  latent  damage  that  results  in  premature  failure  even  if 
components  remain  functional.  In  addition,  the  equipment  must  be 
properly  grounded.  Technicians  should  always  wear  proper  ESD 
grounding  straps  connected  to  the  ESD  connector  during  equipment 
installation, maintenance and repairs.

Post Installation Procedures 

Make  sure  that  all  cables  are  connected  properly  with  the  following 
procedures  after  completing  the  A3-Ei  installation  and  aligning  the 
antenna: 

 

Make sure the antenna is mounted tightly after the alignment 

 

Make  sure  the  grounding  strap  is  connected  properly  to  the 
ground. 

 

Check  all  cables  are  connected  to  PoE  injector  correctly  and 
properly. 

o

 

Make  sure  the  Ethernet  cable  from  PC  or  backhaul 
network equipment is connected to “Data In” port of PoE 
injector. 

o

 

Make  sure  the  Ethernet  cable  from  A3-Ei  is  connected  to 
“Data & Power Out” port of PoE injector. 

 

Make sure the PoE injector’s light is on. 

 

Make sure the right cables are used during the installation 

 

Make  sure  all  connectors  are  sealed  with  the  waterproof  seal 
properly. 

After  going  through  the  above  procedure,  it  is  necessary  to  test  the 
wireless  quality  and  check  whether  the  RSSI  fails  into  the  acceptable 
range or not via A3-Ei Web UI.  It might be needed to re-aligns antenna 
again if the performance is not acceptable.
