2. Start the tape at the top of the RF antenna connection.
3. Wrap the tape around the connection several times and
slowly work your way downward to weatherize the RF
antenna connection. Be sure to overlap the tape at least
1/4 inch (0.635 cm).

Attaching the Power Cable
Figure 66 – Power Cable
Attach the power plug to the Gateway by pushing and rotating
the circular power connector clockwise to engage it.
See Figure 66.
Do not weatherize the power connection. The power
connector is IP68-rated and does not require weatherization
wrap.
The protective cover (CONEC P/N: 17-10002) included with
the unit should always cover the Ethernet port when the port is
not in use.
