Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Hardware Installation Guide
OL-5048-02
Chapter 2 Installation Overview
Installation Summary
• For outdoor installations, connect the dual-coax Ethernet cables between the power injector and the
grounding block. For indoor installations, connect the dual-coax cables to the power injector.
Tip You can connect the dual-coax cable connectors to either of the grounding block connectors or
the power injector’s dual-coax Ethernet ports. The access point/bridge senses the Ethernet
signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.
Note You should securely tighten the cable connectors (15 to 20 inch-pounds) using a small wrench.
• For outdoor installations, connect a ground wire to the grounding block.
• Mount the access point/bridge to the mast, tower, or wall. For additional information, refer to the
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Mounting Instructions that shipped with
your access point/bridge.
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
