Attaching the
Ground Cable to
the Access Point
The ground cable protects the device from damage from lightning strikes
or electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Review the following guidelines before attaching the ground cable to the
access point:
Attach the ground cable to the access point before installing the
mounting base.
Connect the ground cable directly to the earth ground.
Keep the ground cable as short as possible; remove any extra
cable.
Do not sharply bend, loop, or coil the ground cable.
Connect the surge protector ground cable and the equipment
ground to a single common ground. The equipment ground
includes power ground and telecommunications ground.
The recommended earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
Measure the ground impedance at the point where the surge
protector ground cable, not at the ground rod.
If you provide your own ground cable, use a 10 AWG or larger
stranded wire as the ground cable.
You need the following items to attach the ground cable to the access
point:
TQ6702e GEN2 Access Point
Ground cable
One screw for the ground cable
Phillips-head screwdriver
Note
A Phillip-head screwdriver is not included with the product.
To attach the ground cable to the access point, perform the following
procedure:
1. Place the access point upside-down on a table or desk.
2. Select a ground post on the access point for the ground wire.
The access point has two ground posts on the bottom panel. You can
use either post. Refer to Figure 9 on page 40.
