2.7 Cabling
Twisted-pair segments can be connected with an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair
(STP) cable. The cable between the wireless access point and the link partner (wireless AP, switch, hub,
workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) in length.
2.8 Wireless Antenna
The 2.4GHz/5GHz antennas are connected with SMA connectors. Other external antennas can be used.
2.9 Wiring the Power Inputs
Caution: Please follow the steps below when inserting the power wire.
Attention: Veuillez suivre les étapes ci-dessous lors de l'insertion du câble d'alimentation.
1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the PWR1 (V1+, V1-) and PWR2 (V2+, V2-) contacts on the
terminal block connector as shown below in Figure 2.6.
Figure 2.6 - Power Terminal Block
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from loosening, as shown below in Figure 2.7.
Figure 2.7 - Power Terminal Block

Antaira Technologies - Industrial Wireless Access Points
ARS-7235-PSE-AC Series - Hardware Manual - v1.0
Caution:
Only use copper conductors, 125°C, tighten to 5 lbs.
The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 18~20 AWG.
Attention:
Utilisez uniquement des conducteurs en cuivre, 125°C, serrez à 5 lb.
Le calibre des fils du bornier doit être compris entre 18 et 20 AWG.
2.10 Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
The fault alarm contact is in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below in
Figure 2.8. By inserting the wires, it will detect the fault status including power failure or port link failure
(managed industrial switch only), and form a normal open circuit. An example is shown below in Figure
2.8.
Figure 2.8 - Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
Caution:
The wire gauge for the terminal block should range between 12 ~ 24 AWG.
If only using one power source, jumper Pin 1 to Pin 5 and Pin 2 to Pin 6 to eliminate power fault
alarm.
Attention:
Le calibre des fils du bornier doit être compris entre 12 et 24 AWG.
Si vous n'utilisez qu'une seule source d'alimentation, connectez les broches 1 à 5 et les broches
2 à 6 pour éliminer l'alarme de panne de courant.

4 Hardware Installation
4.1 Installation Steps
This section will explain how to install the industrial wireless access point:
Caution: This device is intended for indoor use.
Attention: Cet appareil est destiné à une utilisation en intérieur.
Caution: The device is intended to be installed in an industrial control enclosure and panel.
Attention: L'appareil est destiné à être installé dans une armoire de commande et un panneau
industriels.
Installation Steps
1. Unpack the industrial wireless access point from the original packing box.
2. Check if the DIN-Rail bracket is screwed on the industrial wireless access point.
●If the DIN-Rail is not screwed on the industrial wireless access point, please refer to the
DIN-Rail Mounting section for DIN-Rail installation.
●If it is required to wall mount the industrial wireless access point, please refer to the Wall
Mounting section for wall mounting installation.
3. To hang the industrial wireless access point on a DIN-Rail or wall, please refer to the Mounting
Installation section.
4. Power on the industrial wireless access point and then the power LED light will turn on.
●For the help on how to wire power, please refer to the Wiring the Power Inputs section.
●Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
5. Prepare the twisted-pair, straight-through category 5 cable for Ethernet connection.
6. Insert one side of the RJ45 cable into the wireless access point’s Ethernet port and on the other
side into the networking device’s Ethernet port, e.g. switch PC or server.
14

Antaira Technologies - Industrial Wireless Access Points
ARS-7235-PSE-AC Series - Hardware Manual - v1.0
●The Ethernet port’s (RJ45) LED on the industrial wireless access point will turn on when the
cable is connected to the networking device.
●Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
7. When all connections are set and the LED lights all show normal, 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
●Always verify the right power cord or adapter is being used. Never use a power supply or adapter
with a non-compliant DC output voltage or it will burn the equipment.
●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).
●Diagnosing LED Indicators: To assist in identifying problems, the switch can be easily monitored
with the LED indicators which help to identify if any problems exist.
○Please refer to the LED Indicators section for LED light indication.
