Mounting the Access Point
•
Two short sub-mini RG-59 coax cables (12 in.)
Tighten the bolts to secure the power injector to the access point. Torque bolts to 6 to 8 ft-lbs.
Connecting the Cables
This procedure explains how to connect the cables and how to ground the access point:
Step 1
Connect the two short coax cables to the power injector and to the access point.
Caution
To prevent damage to the access point or power injector, connect all coax cables from the
power injector to the access point and connect the power jack to the power injector before
applying power.
Step 2
Find the building's grounding electrode system and then connect the access point ground lug to it using
6 AWG copper wire. Use a crimping tool to crimp the wire to the ground lug. For more information about
attaching the ground lug to the access point, see
Step 3
and
Step 4
in the
“Attaching the Housing Bracket
to the Access Point” section on page 28
. See
Figure 11
for the ground lug location.
Warning
