· 2 Preparing for Installation To prevent device damage and physical injury, please read carefully the safety recommendations described in this chapter. Recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous situations. 2.1 Grounding and Lightning Protection Keep the grounding connection within 30 m, and use a 40 mm x 4 mm or 50 mm x 5 mm ground bar of hot-dip zinc-coated flat steel sheet.
· 2.2.1 Temperature and Humidity Table 2-1 Required Temperature and Humidity for the RG-AP630 Series Operating Temperature -40° C to 65° C (-40° F to 149° F) Operating Humidity 0% to 100% (non-condensing) 2.2.2 Outdoor Installation The AP can be installed outdoors and mounted on a wall or pole.
· Radiation interference occurs when energy (usually radio frequency energy) is emitted from a device and propagated through space to disrupt other devices. The interference source can be part of disrupted system or a fully electrically isolated unit. Conduction interference occurs when interference is transferred from one unit to another through cables, which are usually electromagnetic wires or signal cables connected between the source and the device(s) experiencing interference.
· 3 Installing the Access Point Before installing the AP, make sure you have carefully read the requirements described in Chapter 2. 3.1 Installation Flowchart Start Check Choose the Site Install the Bracket on a Wall Install the Bracket on a Pole Install the AP Install External Antenna (Optional) Adjust Antenna Orientation...
· 3.2 Before You Begin Before you install the AP, verify that all the parts in the packing list are there and make sure that: The installation site meets temperature and humidity requirements. The installation site is equipped with a proper power supply. ...

· b. Hang the AP with the AP-side mounting bracket module to the cross-shaped bracket and tighten the M8×40 screws to secure the AP. See figure 3-6. Figure 3-6 Installing the AP on a Vertical Pole Horizontal pole mount Figure 3-7 Fixing the Bracket on a Horizontal Pole...
· Figure 3-8 Installing the AP on the Horizontal Pole The procedure of horizontal pole mount is similar as that of a vertical mount. 3.5 Adjusting Antenna Orientation Both directional and omni-directional antennas are available for the RG-AP630. The integrated antenna is in parallel with the upper shell.
· 3.6 Installing a Security Lock (Optional) The security lock is customer-supplied. The lock loop on the AP is for your security needs. You can fasten the AP to a fixture as follows: Fasten the cable of a security lock to a fixture; Secure the lock plate into the lock loop.

· Connecting the network cable Waterproofing material is customer-supplied. Trim the network cable according to the distance between the AP and the power supply. Thread the cable through liquid-tight adapter and add a plug to the end. See figure 3-16. Figure 3-16 Threading the Network Cable Wrap the cable between B and C upwards with two or three layers of liquid-tight material.
· Figure 3-18 Threading the Fiber Insert the plug of the fiber into the SPF port. Tighten A. Combine B and C and put the combination into A. Tighten D before applying waterproof glue to its joint with A. Before removing the optical fiber, dismantle the liquid-tight adapter first and then the plug. If the diameter of LC-LC fiber is not 2.7±0.2mm, waterproofness of the adapter cannot be guaranteed.

· Installing Outdoor Omnidirectional Antennas Omnidirectional antennas must be kept at least one meter away from any metal. Do not weld the lightning rod onto the pole installed with an omni-directional antenna. Place the lightning rod in the middle of two omni-directional antennas.
· Appendix A Connectors and Media 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T The 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T is a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation port that supports auto MDI/MDIX. Compliant with IEEE 802.3ab, 1000BASE-T requires Category 5e 100-ohm UTP or STP (STP is recommended) with a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet). 1000BASE-T requires all four pairs of wires be connected for data transmission, as shown in Figure A-1.
