4. Attach the other end of the outdoor Ethernet cable to the Cat 5 DC Power Injector at port RJ-45
labeled “To Antenna”.
5. Connect the Ethernet cable labeled “To PC/Router” from the Cat 5 DC Power Injector into a regular
port on your router, switch or hub. If you connect to a laptop or PC, use a cross-over cable or adapter.
6. Perform an Earth ground connection to any of the rear bolts of the unit, the mounting brackets, or the
mast (if metallic) (refer to Fig. 2.1). For maximum protection, also connect the metal wire of the surge
protected DC Injector to ground as shown on Figure 2.3.
7. Connect the barrel plug of the power supply to the “DC Power” jack on the Cat 5 DC Power Injector,
then plug the Power Supply into an AC outlet. Check that the Power LED turns on. If there is traffic
over the wireless medium the Wireless Link LED should be flashing. If the Ethernet port is active the
Ethernet Link LED should be flashing. Radio Status should be off, it turns on only when there is a
malfunction of the internal card (refer to Fig. 2.4). Also, a water-proof plug is located next to the LED
label. You may remove this plug to gain access to a reset push button inside the AP-Ext-N for
disaster recovery, or if so instructed by your Terabeam support representative during troubleshooting
or technical assistance.
8. Configure the AP-Ext-N using the Configurator software. Please refer to the
