Mounting the AP to a Pole
The HPE Networking Instant On Access Point AP27 can also be mounted to a pole by using the AP-270-

Grounding the AP

The grounding must be completed before powering up the access point. The grounding wire should be
#8 AWG. To ground the AP, follow these steps:
1. Peel the cover of one end of the grounding wire and place the bare grounding wire into the
included copper lug, and press firmly with the crimping pliers.
2. Fasten the copper lug to the grounding hole on the AP with the included M4 x 6 screw.

Powering the AP

To power the AP, connect an outdoor rated Cat5e or above Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port of the
AP to a PoE port of a compliant PoE Injector.
The PoE injector will be installed indoors and then a long cable will have to run from inside to outside
where the AP is located. This cable will then be powering the AP. The PoE injector is not meant for
outdoor installation as it is not weather tolerant.
