2. To connect the device through a hub or a switch to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the
network interface card in the Personal Computer and the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 IN / LAN port on
the PoE Injector.
3. To connect the device directly to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the network interface card
in the Personal Computer and the RJ45 IN / LAN port on the PoE Injector.
: AP-9200R device is supplied with a 30W passive PoE injector. It can also be powered up via 802.3af/at power injector
or switch.
Step 10: Install Surge Protector
ORiNOCO®AP-9200R Series products comes with a built-in Ethernet surge protection; however, it is mandatory to install an
approved lightning surge protector at the building ingress point. Moreover, if you are installing the device in a region
subjected to violent thunderstorms or severe weather conditions, then installation of an additional approved lightning surge
protector near the device is recommended.
: The Surge Arrestor (Part Number 235-00001) is not provided with the Proxim’s Package Contents, it needs to be
procured by the customer. To buy an additional Surge Protector, place an order separately with your distributor.
Perform the following steps to ensure proper surge protection:
1. Mount a surge protector near the building ingress and use 12 AWG or larger wire to connect the surge protector’s
ground lug to earth ground.
2. The outdoor device and co-located surge protector (optional) should have a common grounding point using the
shortest possible grounding cable.

: Use Outdoor-rated, UV protected, shielded Cat5e cable for the following:
3. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the indoor device and to the port on the surge protector at the building
ingress.
4. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the surge protector and the outdoor device on the Ethernet Port.
Step 11: Ground the Unit
To ensure proper grounding, attach a ground wire of at least 12 AWG stranded to the device at the ground point which is
located at the bottom corner of the device and use the grounding screw provided. It is important to follow the grounding
guidelines below to protect the device against lighting or ESD events:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device and the other end to the closest earth ground point at the
installation site.
2. Remove any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground.
3. Avoid sharp bends, loops or coiling the ground wire, always connect it straight to ground.
4. A proper earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the surge protector ground wire is connected and not at the
grounding rod.
6. Connect the surge protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm ground) to a
single common ground.
7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and tight.
8. Never install a link during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.
Connect the grounding wire, which is supplied with the product package, to the device as shown below:
:Ensure to loop the cable before entering the premise to prevent water ingress.

Step 12: Power ON the Device
After connecting the PoE Injector and the device using straight-through CAT5e cable plug the power cord into a power
outlet. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. To power down the unit, unplug the RJ45 connector from the OUT / POE
port on the PoE injector.
Step 13: Port LED Indicators
When the device is powered on, it performs startup diagnostics. When startup is complete, the LEDs show the device’s
operational state. The LEDs are located on the Ethernet port inside the device enclosure.
: The LEDs will not be visible when the weather-sealing cap is installed.
The LEDs can be seen at the bottom of the Ethernet port. The following table describes the status of LEDs:
