Step1 Step2
Note
Strongly suggest using SFTP cable, for better protection of the data
wire. 25-meter SFTP cable also available by order, the part no is
CB-STP-25. Please contact with local dealer for more information
2. Connect RJ-45 cable with the waterproof connector to the LAN port of WAP-8000
and another way connect to the “PoE” port of PoE Injector. Connect antenna to

For secured reason, while install the CPE AP, please be aware for
the electric wires around, and tighten the pole.
Without tighten the CPE AP, the pole and the installed site is with
electric wire around, there could be danger of being hurt by falling
or lethal injury.
5. Connect the “LAN” port of PoE Injector to Ethernet hub, switch or PC on the
same LAN for management.
6. Connect the power adapter to the PoE Injector, and plug it into an AC outlet to
power on the WAP-8000.
Note
1. ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WAP-8000. Other-

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special
instructions that are included with the equipment you are installing.
CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL.
Make sure no power lines are anywhere
where possible contact can be made.
Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or
cables may lean or fall and contact these
limes. People may be injured or killed if
they are touching or holding any part
of equipment when it contacts electric
lines. Make sure there is NO possibility
that equipment or personnel can come in
contact directly or indirectly with power
lines.
Assume all overhead lines are power lines.
The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line
should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will
ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or
later.
TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS
ABOVE GROUND.
Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident
happens.
Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all
equipment is in good repair.
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let
it fall.
If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line,
DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by
calling the power company.
Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND
ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING
ARRESTORS. This will help prevent re damage or human injury in case of
lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the
antenna.
The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the
building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1
OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND
CANNOT MOVE:
DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no
longer are in contact with electrical power.
Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are
certied, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.
