Powering the Access Point
Warning
A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Statement 1022
Warning
Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards.
Statement 1033
To connect a DC power cable, you need these tools and material:
•
Shielded outdoor-rated DC power cable (minimum 18 AWG) with outside cable diameter of 0.20 to
0.35 inch (0.51 to 0.89 cm).
•
Adjustable wrench or 0.875 inch open-end wrench
•
Small flat-head screw driver
•
Two-pin DC terminal block connector (use only the Cisco supplied DC connector. Cisco Part
Number 29-100226-01)
•
0.5 inch or 13mm wrench
To connect the DC power cable to the access point, follow these steps:
Step 1
Before connecting DC power to the access point, ensure that the ground is connected to the access point
(see the
“Grounding the Access Point” section on page 4-12
Step 2
Turn off all power sources to the access point, including the DC power source.
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.
Statement 1028
Caution
When installing DC power to the access point, always connect the access point end of the cable FIRST.
When removing the DC power connector, always disconnect the access point end of the cable LAST.
Step 3
Use a 0.5 inch or 13 mm wrench to remove the DC connector cover plug from the access point. The DC
power port is located on the right side of the access point and is labeled ‘6’. See
for more information on where the port is located.
Do not discard plug and rubber seal unless you are certain that the port will not have to be re-plugged.
Step 4
Loosen the thread-Lock sealing nut of the cable gland by turning it counter clockwise, but do not remove
(see
).
Note
Verify that the cable gland has a rubber gasket and ensure that it is not damaged.
Warning
Failure to install the cable gland and the rubber gasket properly will cause the cable grip to leak.
