Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Access Point Installing the Access Point Note Before installing the AP, make sure you have carefully read the requirements described in Chapter 2. Installation Flowchart Before You Begin Carefully plan and arrange the installation location, networking mode, power supply, and cabling before installing the device.
Precautions The RG-AP680(CD) can be mounted on a wall or a pole with a diameter ranging from 50 mm to 140 mm (1.97 in. to 5.51 in.). Use the 304 stainless steel hose clamp delivered with the AP. If the diameter of the pole is out of this range, purchase the SUS304 hose clamp with a proper size for installation.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Access Point Figure 3-1 Securing the Access Point to the Mounting Plate (2) Install the mounting bracket to a pole or wall. Pole mounting As shown in Figure 3-2, attach the mounting bracket to a pole by threading two hose clamps through openings of the mounting bracket.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Access Point Figure 3-3 Attaching the Mounting Bracket to a Wall (3) Install the AP on the mounting plate to the mounting bracket. Use four M6 screws to join the mounting plate and the bracket. Adjust the orientation of the AP before tightening the screws.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Access Point After installation, check that all screws are tightened to prevent the device from falling down. Connecting Cables Note The waterproof materials are customer-supplied. Connecting the Grounding Cable The grounding cable needs to be made onsite. Connect one end of the grounding cable delivered with the device to the ground hole of the device through an OT terminal and the other end to the ground through another OT terminal.
Page 23
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Access Point (1) Based on the distance from the AP to the power supply terminal, trim the network cable to a proper length and thread it through the mounting plate. (2) Thread the network cable through the cable gland assembly based on the sequence shown in Figure 3-6.
Page 24
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Access Point (1) Select an LC-LC optical fiber jumper whose diameter ranges from 2.5 mm to 2.9 mm (0.10 in. to 0.11 in.). (2) A cable gland assembly includes four components: A (adapter base), B (split gasket), C (grommet), and D (compression cap).
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Access Point (Optional) Connecting the DC Power Cord Note When the AP is powered by the DC power supply, its ports are facing downward. In this case, the AP can be protected against only splashing water. The DC power cord should be used together with the cable gland.
