2 Installation

Antenna position

The antenna flaps can be adjusted to optimize radio performance. Start with the following positions,
then adjust as needed. (See also the MSM310-R/MSM320-R Antenna Technical Note available
with the other online documentation.)
WARNING!
by water ingress through the RJ-45 connector as a result of the AP; being improperly installed or
the improper assembly or attachment of the weatherproof RJ-45 connector, is not covered by the
warranty.
WARNING!
The AP is typically interconnected with other equipment as follows (only the antennas and
weatherproof RJ-45 connector are supplied with the AP):
AP topology
1: Internet
2: Ethernet surge suppressor
3: PoE Injector
WARNING!
according to local electrical code and regulations.

Step 1: Plan the installation

Identify a suitable install location. The AP has a NEMA 4 rating and is unsuitable for installation
in a salt fog environment. Local electrical and building codes and regional regulations will dictate
many aspects of your installation. It is recommended that you perform transmission and reception
tests at a proposed location before installing. In some cases it may be desirable to install remote
antennas, off the body of the AP.
You will have to provide an effective earth ground for the AP, at least one of its antenna surge
suppressors, and the Ethernet surge suppressor. It is rarely sufficient to use a metal pole for any
equipment grounding. You will also need to decide how to route the Ethernet cable from the building
to the AP.
The AP must be installed with the antennas pointing straight up. Damage caused
Corrosive damage caused by salt fog is not covered by the warranty.
