  • Page 6: Wiring Requirements

    Wiring Requirements WARNING Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring the Wireless Access Point/Bridge/Client. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowed for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
  • Page 7 Grounding the Wireless Access Point/Client Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
