Before you begin

You must supply these tools and materials:

• Shielded outdoor-rated CAT 5e Ethernet cable with a diameter of 0.2 to 0.35 inch (5 to 9 mm)

• CAT 5e RJ-45 connector and installation tool

• Adjustable wrench or 28–mm box wrench

Procedure

Step 1

Disconnect power to the power injector and ensure all power sources to the AP are turned off.

This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed
to de-energize the unit.

Danger

Step 2

Ensure a 6 AWG ground wire is connected to the AP (see

Grounding the Antenna, on page 18

).

Step 3

Remove the covering cap from the PoE port.

Step 4

Loosen and remove the cable sealing nut of the cable gland by turning it counterclockwise.

Verify that the cable gland has a rubber seal and ensure that it is not damaged.
