Installation Requirements 54
Confirm that the OAP433e shipping boxes contain the following items:
• OAP433e Outdoor Access Point
•
Water barrier for the Ethernet connection (when shipped, this is not connected to the AP)
• Wall/Pole Mount Hardware Kit for mounting OAP433e to a 2” to 3” diameter steel pole or
tube or as part of a radio or tower structure (3 pieces)
• Screws and bolts for assembling the mounting bracket
•
Drywall screws (for wall-mounted installation)
• Ground wire
Installation Requirements
In addition to the hardware supplied by Meru Networks, you need the following:
• Antennas (sold separately)
•
RF coaxial cable to connect the antennas to the OAP433e
• Drill (if wall-mounting)
•
Crescent wrench
• Outdoor CAT5 Ethernet cable—Cable type CMX
•
Size 22 (American Wire Gauge) with a 3.8mm gap
• Size 24 (AWG) with a 3mm gap
Power Requirements
The OAP433e does not ship with a power adapter, and as such, must be powered by a PoE
device. In order to ensure that all three radios on the AP are active, it must be plugged into an
802.3at power source. If an 802.3af source is used, the third radio will be disabled due to
insufficient power.
The Ethernet cable must be run through the OAP433e’s water-tight input port, which is provided in the
package. This will ensure a waterproof seal around the connection. Follow the instructions listed later in
this chapter to properly install the cable.
