Ground resistance The ground resistance is typically required to be less than 5 ohms, and less than 10 ohms in an area with less than 20 thunderstorm days a year. For a piece of angle steel buried in the earth as a grounding conductor, the ground resistance is required to be less than 10 ohms.

Installing the AP IMPORTANT: As a best practice to ensure radio coverage, have the AP installed by technical personnel. Pre-installation tasks Before installing an AP, perform the following tasks: • Connect the AP to a power source and the network. Examine the LEDs to verify that the AP can operate correctly.

Mounting the AP The AP can be installed only outdoors. You can mount the AP on a wall or a pole. Mounting bracket Figure2-2 Mounting bracket Mounting the AP on a wall Mark the installation holes on the wall based on the installation hole positions in the AP. Figure2-3 Marking the installation holes on the wall Drill four holes with a diameter of 8 mm (0.32 in) and a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in) at the marked locations.

Figure2-6 Removing the fastening (grounding) screw and base Feed the cables (including the Ethernet cable and power cord) through the triangular hole in the base, and then connect the cables to the AP. For how to connect an Ethernet cable and install a liquid-tight adapter, see "Connecting an Ethernet cable."...

Figure2-7 Connecting a cable to the AP Use the fastening (grounding) screw to secure the base and one end of the grounding cable to the AP. Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. Before connect the power cord to the AP, make sure the AP is reliably grounded. For more information, see "Grounding and lightning protection."...
Use M4 screws to secure the device and the other end of the grounding cable to the mounting bracket.

Figure2-10 Securing the mounting bracket and clamp brackets to the vertical pole Use M4 screws to secure the AP to the mounting bracket. Figure2-11 Securing the AP to the mounting bracket Mounting the AP on a vertical pole (by using band clamps) The band clamps support poles with a diameter of 60 to 200 mm (2.36 to 7.87 in).

IMPORTANT: • Only the GE1 port on the AP supports PoE power supply. • Use Category-5e or above Ethernet cables only. As a best practice, use shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. • When you connect an Ethernet cable, do not remove the connector from the AP. Figure2-18 Liquid-tight adapter To connect an Ethernet cable: Disassemble the liquid-tight adapter and put the rubber seal aside, and then feed the cable...
Figure2-20 Creating a drip loop Connecting the AP to a power source You can supply power to the AP by using a local power source or through 802.3at-compliant PoE. As a best practice, power the AP through PoE. Before powering the AP, make sure the local power source or the 802.3at-compliant power sourcing equipment (PSE) is grounded reliably.
Figure2-21 Connecting the AP to a PoE power source Connecting a local power source CAUTION: To avoid device damage, make sure the weatherproof cap is installed securely on the power port if you do not supply power by using a local power source. Use a power adapter with outdoor lightning protection as the local power source.
Figure2-22 Using a power adapter to connect the AP to a local power source Labeling cables After cable connection, attach labels to each cable as a best practice for future maintenance. • Attach a label to both ends of a cable and every certain distance. •...
