4 Hardware Installation
4.1 Installation Steps
This section will explain how to install the industrial wireless access point:
Installation Steps
1. Unpack the industrial wireless access point from the original packing box.
2. To hang the industrial wireless access point on a pole or wall, please refer to the Mounting
Installation section.
3. To power the industrial wireless access point, you will need an accessory that can provide PoE
via an RJ45 cable.
4. Prepare the twisted-pair, straight-through category 5 cable for Ethernet connection/power.
5. Insert one side of the RJ45 cable into the wireless access point’s Ethernet port (LAN) and on the
other side into the networking device’s Ethernet port (e.g.; switch, PC, or server).
6. When all connections are set, the installation is complete.
4.2 Maintenance and Service
●If the device requires servicing of any kind, the user is required to disconnect and remove it from
its mounting. The initial installation should be done in a way that makes this as convenient as
possible.
●Voltage / Power lines should be properly insulated as well as other cables. Be careful when
handling them so as to not trip over.
●Do not under any circumstance insert foreign objects of any kind into the heat dissipation
holes located in the different faces of the device. This may not only harm the internal layout,
but might cause harm to users as well.
●Do not under any circumstance open the device for any reason. Please contact your dealer
for any repair needed or follow the instructions within the manual.
●Clean the device with dry soft cloth.

4.3 Troubleshooting
●Select the proper UTP or STP cable in order to construct the network. Use an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) or shield twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ45 connections: 100Ω Category 5e for
10/100Mbps. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100
meters (328 feet). 
