Connect the dual-coax cable to the power injector dual-coax Ethernet ports (F-type connectors) on the access point/bridge. Note You should securely tighten the cable connectors (15 to 20 inch-pounds) using a small wrench. 6. Connect the ground wire to the outdoor mounted access point/bridge using the supplied ground lug. 7. Connect the power cable to the power injector. 8. Tighten the nuts and bolts.

Window Mounting

When a wireless link is deployed through a window, significant signal loss can be introduced by the

window. Typical losses range from 5 to15 dB per window, depending upon the type of glass. You should

take this extra loss into account when planning antenna gains and power settings. A thorough site survey

is critical for deployments through windows.

Multi-Function Mount

The multi-function mount provides a method for mounting the access point/bridge on a mast, tower, or

a roof mount and consists of two parts (see

Figure 3-1

•

An access point/bridge bracket—attaches to the back of the unit

•

A mast bracket—attaches to the mast, tower, or roof mount

The multi-function mount permits easy azimuth and elevation adjustments. The basic mounting

procedure is shown below:

Mount the access point/bridge bracket to the mounting lugs on the access point/bridge.

Mount the mast bracket to the tower or mast using the supplied U-bolts or appropriately sized

user-supplied U-bolts.

Suspend the access point/bridge on the mast bracket using the support pins.

Secure the access point/bridge bracket to the mast bracket using the supplied nuts, bolts, and

washers (hand tighten).

Connect the dual-coax cable to the power injector dual-coax Ethernet ports (F-type connectors) on

the access point/bridge.

Note

You should securely tighten the cable connectors (15 to 20 inch-pounds) using a small wrench.

Connect the ground wire to the outdoor mounted access point/bridge using the supplied ground lug.

Connect the power cable to the power injector.

Tighten the nuts and bolts.
