Mounting the Access Point
What You Will Need
1.
Take the AP to its mounting location.
2.
Verify that the Cat5e FTP cable (outdoor-rated) from the AP is long enough to reach
the PoE injector that is installed indoor.
3.
Create a drip loop in any cable that is attached to the AP. This will prevent water from
running along the cable and entering the AP or the building where the cable
terminates.
4.
Verify that the
PoE IN
port on the AP is connected to the Data Out/Power Out port on
the PoE injector.
5.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the Data In port on the PoE injector to your network
router or switch.
6.
Apply power to the AP.
•
If you are using AC power, connect the AC cable to an AC power source.
•
If you are using PoE, connect the PoE injector to a power source.
7.
Check the
Power LED
on the AP. It should turn
red
as the AP powers on and
green
when it completes its power-on sequence.
