GND
The Grounding Terminal is used for lightning and ESD protection. Use a grounding
cable to connect the Grounding Terminal to earth ground.
ETHERNET
The port is used to connect to a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), such as a PoE
switch, for both data transmission and Power.
Metal Strap
FIT FAT
The FIT/FAT switch is used to toggle the CAP's working mode. The toggling of the
mode will reboot the CAP.
In FIT mode, APs can be centrally managed by TP-Link's wireless controller. The
default FIT mode is used when you want to deploy a large wireless network.
In FAT mode, you can log in to CAP's webpage to manage the CAP alone. The FAT
mode is used in a small wireless network. The AP cannot be managed by wireless
controller in FAT mode.
Lightning and ESD Protection
Before mounting CAP, you should consider Lightning and ESD
Protection to ensure safety.
Proper grounding is extremely important for outdoor devices.
There are two effective techniques for grounding the outdoor
CAP:
Option A
Use a shielded CAT5e (or above) cable with an integrated
grounding wire for connection.
Option B
If you have the standard CAT5e cable for the connection, use a
separate grounding cable to connect the Grounding Terminal
(GND) to earth ground.
