loop as shown here. Make sure that the distance between the loop start and end points is at
least 15 cm (6 inches), and that the cable hangs down at least 25 cm (10 inches).

socket on the AP, hold it firmly in place, and tighten the Screw Nut (E)
by hand. Do not over
tighten. Do not tighten with tools

Install an Ethernet surge suppressor as close as possible to the AP, ideally within .6 meters
(two feet). This helps reduce the effects of any charge carried by the cable to the AP. Install
this Ethernet surge suppressor between the AP and the PoE power source.
The Ethernet cable will typically need to be cut and have the cable end coming from the PoE
injector connected to the Ethernet surge suppressor input (Line) and have the cable end coming
from the AP connected to the Ethernet surge suppressor output (Equipment). Follow the
instructions included with the Ethernet surge suppressor. Include a drip loop for both the input
and output cables. Connect a grounding wire to the Ethernet surge suppressor.
Powering the AP
The AP can be powered by:
•
A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 PoE-enabled switch. PoE-enabled switches are available from
HP.
•
An HP 1-Port Power Injector (J9407A).
