Attach The Extender Bridge to the Bracket
Use the provided mounting bracket and appropriate length
¼
―diameter screws that are provided in the accessory kit to
attach the SecureMesh Extender Bridge to the mounting pole
(see the figure on the right).
Before tightening, rotate the device to ensure there is ample
room for the omnidirectional antennas to clear the mount
stand and streetlight pole.
Attach the Ground Wire
Connect the Ethernet PoE cable to the Ethernet port at
the base of the Extender Bridge, pushing the 8P8C into
the socket on the bottom of the Extender Bridge until it
locks into place (as shown on the right). The Ethernet
PoE cable should be routed through the water protection
gasket.
Loosen the ground screw at the base of the Extender
Bridge. Remove a section of the insulation on the ground
wire that will attach to the ground point on the streetlight,
and wrap this section around the ground screw and
tighten the screw.
If the streetlight is completely metal, attach the other end
of the ground wire to the mounting hardware. If the
streetlight is a metal arm attached to a wooden pole the
ground wire must extend to a proper ground location.
