2 Preparing for Installation
It is advisable to connect the power (if using an external power supply) and check the Ethernet cables
and LEDs before installing the access
point in a hard-to-reach location. Additionally, observe the
following before mounting or connecting the access point:
Cabling Make sure that standard Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling is
installed at the site before you install the access point.
Make sure that the cable is highly flexible and that there is no extra covering
on the RJ-45 connector that could prevent the cable from being routed
through the mounting bracket
Power Power must be supplied via an 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE)-compliant
device. Removal of the Ethernet cable is the only method of disconnecting
power from the access point.
MAC Address Record the access point MAC address in a safe place before the access point
is installed in a hard-to-reach location. The MAC address is printed on the
back of the access point. Additional MAC address labels are shipped with the
access point.
WARNING: Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes, national
codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraints.
WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the access point
hardware during periods of lightning activity.
NOTE: The access point is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the device outdoors,
unless you install it in a properly installed enclosure.
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of connection interference caused by dust, clean the
Category
5 connector pins before inserting a cable into the access point.
