Keep the unit away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.

The Power Tap is not a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal. For optimal
performance, ensure the unit is placed as close as possible to the network data port.
Cabling the Power Tap
To install a Power Tap to an Ethernet data source and access point:
CAUTION
For Power Tap installations, an electrician is required to open the Power Tap unit, feed the power cable
through the Line AC connector, secure the power cable to the unit’s three screw termination block and tighten the
unit’s Line AC clamp (by hand) to ensure the power cable cannot be pulled from the Power Tap enclosure. Only a
certified electrician should conduct the installation.
CAUTION
Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Tap (for Altitude 3550 installations) using an AC cable with an
appropriate ground connection approved for the country of operation.
1 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power Tap’s DATA
IN connector.
2 Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Tap’s DATA/PWR OUT connector and the
access point’s LAN port.
CAUTION
Cabling the Power Tap to the access point’s WAN port renders the access point non-operational. Only
use a Power Tap with the access point’s LAN port.
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Tap and access point does not
exceed 100 meters (333 ft). The Power Tap does not have an On/Off switch. It receives power as
soon as AC power is applied.
3 For Power Tap installations, have a certified electrician open the Power Tap enclosure, feed the
power cable through the unit’s
LINE AC connector, secure the power cable to the unit’s three screw
termination block and tighten the unit’s LINE AC clamp (by hand) to ensure the power cable cannot
be pulled from the unit and is protected from the elements.
4 For Power Tap installations, attach a ground cable between the EARTH GROUND connector (on the
back of the unit) to a suitable earth ground connection as defined by your local electrical code.
5 Verify all cable connections are complete before supplying power to the access point.
Mounting an Altitude 3510
The Altitude 3510 can rest on a flat surface, attach to a wall, mount under a suspended T-Bar or above a
ceiling (plenum or attic). Choose one of the following mounting options based on the physical
environment of the coverage area. Do not mount the Altitude 3510 in a location that has not been
approved in a site survey.
