For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:
Cisco Catalyst IW6300 Heavy Duty Series Access Points are only intended to be installed vertically with antennas
facing up. Any other mounting orientation will compromise the IP66/67 and type 4X ingress ratings required for
safety and hazardous locations compliance.
Select your installation site with safety and performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines
look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill.
Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to look at your proposed installation.
Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a
matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to
do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.
When installing the access point and antennas, remember:
—Do not use a metal ladder.
—Do not work on a wet or windy day.
