Chapter 2 Installation Overview
Installation Summary
•
For outdoor installations, connect the dual-coax Ethernet cables between the power injector and the
grounding block. For indoor installations, connect the dual-coax cables to the power injector.
Tip
You can connect the dual-coax cable connectors to either of the grounding block connectors or
the power injector’s dual-coax Ethernet ports. The access point/bridge senses the Ethernet
signals and automatically switches internal circuitry to match the cable connections.
Note
You should securely tighten the cable connectors (15 to 20 inch-pounds) using a small wrench.
•
For outdoor installations, connect a ground wire to the grounding block.
•
Mount the access point/bridge to the mast, tower, or wall. For additional information, refer to
the

your access point/bridge.
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
