Chapter 2 Installation Overview Installation Guidelines Typical Outdoor Installation Components The access point/bridge is designed to be installed in an outdoor environment, typically on a tower or a tall building. A typical outdoor installation diagram is shown in Figure 2-1. Note The lightweight access point can only operate as an access point. Figure 2-1 Typical Outdoor Installation Diagram Building entrance Integrated or external antenna Indoor Outdoor Category 5 Ethernet cable Power injector Dual-coax cables Grounding block Dual-coax cables BR1310G or LAP1310G Power module Ground (see note) 155881 Note Ground wires must comply with Sections 810 and 820 of the National Electrical Code and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. Caution To ensure correct installation and grounding, install the access point/bridge in compliance with your local and national electrical codes: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, National Electrical Code (U.S.); Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA 22.1 (Canada); and if local or national electrical codes are not available, refer to IEC 364, Part 1 through 7 (other countries). Note The grounding block is not required for indoor installations of the access point/bridge and antenna. Installation Guidelines Because the access point/bridge is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: • Install the access point/bridge in an area where structures, trees, or hills do not obstruct radio signals to and from the unit. • Install the access point/bridge at a height sufficient to provide a clear line-of-sight signal path.
