you must connect the power supply cables, Ethernet cable, or external antenna cables to the
Enterasys Wireless Outdoor AP.

The available options are as follows:
• The cables are inserted from above (Position A in Figure 2 ‐ 2 ). The housing of the Enterasys
Wireless Outdoor AP has an opening at the top for this purpose.
• The cables are inserted from below (Position B in Figure 2 ‐ 2 ). There is an opening at the
bottom for this purpose.
• Cables inserted through a wall behind the Enterasys Wireless Outdoor AP (Position C in
Figure 2 ‐ 2 ). You will need to mount the Enterasys Wireless Outdoor AP so that the opening in
the wall is located above the lower edge of the device.
Note: These screws remain in the cover after they have been loosened (this design element
prevents them from being lost). Never attempt to remove these screws from the housing cover
using force, otherwise the housing cover will be damaged.
