Do not touch or move the access point when the antennas are transmitting or receiving. Warning: Intentional radiators, such as the Avaya WLAN AP 8120-O are not intended to be operated with any antenna(s) other than those furnished by Avaya. An intentional radiator may only be operated with the antenna(s) with which it is authorized.

Power over Ethernet (POE) equipment located inside the building. In the event of a local strike, the Ethernet surge arrester instantaneously limits sudden voltage surges across the cable. Note: The Avaya-provided series indoor Ethernet surge arrester is not rated for outdoor use. You must only install the device indoors. Warning: You are required to have a rated surge protector for any cable exiting the building.
The AP 8120-O access point has one RJ-45 port that provides a 10/100/1000BASE-TX Ethernet connection that is used to indirectly connect the access point to an Avaya WC 8180 WLAN controller, typically through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. When connecting an outdoor access point, use a Category 5e (CAT-5e) cable with straight-through signaling and standard RJ-45 connectors to connect to a network device.
Ethernet UTP cable or risk an electrical shock. To waterproof the Ethernet cable, complete the following procedure: Note: Avaya recommends using only an certified outdoor UTP cable such as a CAT-5E cable. Procedure 1. Unscrew the waterproof feed through cap and extract the grommet seal.
