Grounding the Tropos Router
Caution
You must install an external grounding wire if the router is installed on a non-metal pole or if the
metal installation structure is not properly grounded. You must also ground the outdoor data
protection device to a bonded pipe or ground rod. Make sure that grounding is complete before
you connect power to the router.
The grounding arrangement for the router is shown in
