– The SHDSL cable that carries RFT-V power to the unit has no
connection to the Chassis Ground. This cable shield is only intended
to add durability and mechanical protection of the internal wires.
– Proper Safety Grounding is required to insure proper operation and
protection from lightning strikes and surges. A copper ground lug is
provided on the unit for this purpose. Connect a length of #10 AWG
solid, bare, copper wire to the grounding lug and firmly tighten the
grounding screw (see
Grounding on page 37 ). Connect the other end
of the grounding wire to a grounded surface or another earth ground
such as a metal rod.

No modifications or changes to this equipment are allowed, unless the
changes or modifications are expressly approved by the manufacturer. It
is recommended that shielded cables be used to reduce interference
whenever interference is suspected.
Selecting the locations
Each installation is unique due to the physical environment. Before installing
each SkyZhone access point, perform a site survey to determine the optimum
placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance.
The SkyZhone radio is susceptible to interference that can reduce data rate
and range. For best performance, follow these guidelines:
•
Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures
do not obstruct radio signals to and from the antenna. Be sure to consider
the future tree growth and construction when considering a site. Direct
line-of-sight operation is always best. Antennae should be kept at least 8
inches away from contact with the general public passing by the area.
•
Install the units away from other possible sources of 2.4 GHz WLAN
interference. These sources include cordless phones and microwave
ovens, as well as other WiFi access points.
•
Install the units, when wall-mounted, onto an area that can accommodate
the plastic casing and lid of 24 inches high and at least 36 inches wide.
