Non-Cisco Antennas
Cisco does not support any third-party antennas. RF connectivity and compliance of third party antennas is
the user's responsibility. Cisco does not recommend any third-party antennas, and Cisco Technical Assistance
Center will not be able to provide any support for third-party antennas. Cisco's FCC Part 15 compliance is
only guaranteed with Cisco antennas or antennas that are of the same design and gain as Cisco antennas.

Grounding the Access Point

The access point must be grounded before connecting power.
In all outdoor installations you must follow these instructions to properly ground the case:
Procedure
Step 1 If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the grounding lug.
Step 2
Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied grounding
lug.
Note
Step 3 Open the anti-corrosion sealant (supplied), and apply a liberal amount over the metal surface, called the Ground
Pad, where the ground strap screw holes are located (see the following figure).
