Hardware Installation

Mounting the AP

1. Install the backplane to the back of the AP.
2. Attach the L-type bracket to the backplane and fasten it securely.
3. Place the AP onto the pole and fasten it using the U-bolt kit. The AP can be mounted on poles with a diameter of up to 2.5 inches.

Diagram Description: Visuals demonstrate attaching the bracket to the AP and securing the AP to a pole using U-bolts.

Connecting Antennas and Network

1. Attach the surge arrestors to each antenna connector.
2. Connect the antenna (equipped with an N-type (M) connector) to each surge arrestor. Alternatively, use an N-male to N-male cable.
3. Plug the RJ45 Ethernet cable into the PoE port of the AP using the waterproof kit. Connect the other end of the RJ45 cable to the PoE port of the PoE switch to complete the installation.
