10. Carefully thread the cleanly-cut end of the Ethernet cable through the Sealing Nut (1) end of
the quick-disconnect assembly, and push through approximately 30 cm (1 foot) of cable.
NOTE:
The next two steps should be performed by someone with experience building Ethernet
cables.
11. Prepare the cable and attach it to the RJ-45 Plug (7) according to the directions included with
your crimping tool.
12. Before continuing, test the cable with a portable Ethernet cable tester to ensure that the RJ-45
plug (7) is correctly connected.
13. Carefully pull the cable slack back through the quick-disconnect assembly until the RJ-45 Plug
(7) is almost touching the Body (6). Adjust the cable position so that the RJ-45 Plug (7) fits
precisely into the RJ-45 cutout in the Body (6), and press down the plastic tab so the plug fits
correctly.
14. Tighten the threads between Sealing Nut (1) and Clamp Ring (3)
by hand
, until the cable is
firmly anchored.
Do not over tighten. Do not tighten with tools
.
Step 4: Install the AP
1.
Mount the AP on a wall or pole using the supplied brackets so that the antennas are pointing
up. Local electrical and building codes will dictate many installation aspects.
2.
Attach the supplied grounding lug (through the bracket) to one of the lower screw holes on
the AP body, and attach a grounding wire with the set screw.
(See figure in sub-step 4 below: "Grounded body (via grounding lug).")
3.
Manually screw on antenna surge suppressors to the antenna connectors on top of the AP.
Position the gas tube covers so that they can be removed for future tube replacement. Attach
the two supplied antennas.
NOTE:
If installing an optional HP antenna, first attach the lightning arrester to the AP, attach
the antenna adapter to the arrester, then attach the antenna connector to the adapter. See
also the antenna documentation.
4.
Attach a grounding wire to at least one of the antenna surge suppressors. For the model
shown, remove the crimp connector, crimp it to the wire, and then screw the crimp connector
back onto the surge suppressor.

5.
Create a drip loop in the Ethernet cable below the AP. A drip loop provides additional
protection against water running down the Ethernet cable and into the connector. Form the
