  • Page 69: Assembling The Waterproof Ethernet Connector

    Assembling the Waterproof Ethernet Connector The OAP433 ships with a separate Ethernet connector that must be disassembled in order to run a cable through it. Once tightened and connected to the AP itself, this connector will ensure a waterproof seal for the AP. To run an Ethernet cable through the waterproof connector: Unscrew the two main components of the connector.

In addition, local reg- ulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your OAP433e link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice.

    Additional protection using lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed in order to protect against lightning strikes on the antennas. Contact Fortinet Sales for more information regarding this equipment. • Rain — The OAP433e is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal.
  • Page 72: Test Basic Link Operation

    Grounding Holes Test Basic Link Operation Prior to deploying the AP, it is recommended that users connect it to an existing Fortinet deployment in order to ensure basic functionality. This can be done indoors in a controlled set- ting, prior to going through the trouble of mounting it externally. To do so, simply connect the AP to an existing controller and verify that the controller recognizes it.
  • Page 73 Figure 34: Square Mounting Bracket Attaches to Bottom of OAP433e Note that the circular portion of the bracket should be facing to the side of the AP (the AP’s sides are the faces that do not have antennas or other attachments).

    Connecting Antennas and Ground Wire to OAP433e OAP433e does not ship with any antenna by default. Since customers have different outdoor applications, we suggest that you choose from the various antenna options offered by Forti- net. See the list in Appendix D. The OAP433e works both with antennas that attach directly to the unit and remote antennas.
  • Page 78 Follow these steps to connect antennas: Remove the protective dust caps from the antenna connectors. Mount the external antenna on the same supporting structure as you did the OAP433e, within 3 m (10 ft.) of it, using the bracket supplied in the antenna package. Connect the antenna to the OAP433e’s N-type connector (5G-1 and 2.4G-1) using the RF coaxial cable provided in the antenna box.
