STEP 1: CONNECTING AND SEALING THE RJ-45

ABLES

The AP may use zero, or one or two RJ-45 cables, one for

Ethernet when configured as a Root AP (RAP), and one when the

AP is supplying PoE out to a peripheral device, such as a small

cell or micro cell radio. When the AP uses RJ-45 cables, connect

and seal the cables using the M25 data cable glands (B in Figure

1).

1 Feed the end of the RJ-45 cable through the sealing nut (D in

Figure 2), rubber sealing insert (C in Figure 2), clamping ring

assembly (B in Figure 2) and cable gland base (A in Figure 2).

Figure 2: RJ-45 cable and cable gland assembly

2 Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required (

PoE

or PoE IN) blanking cap from the AP.

3 Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the AP.

4 Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or

62 in-lbs.

5 Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber sealing

insert. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully

encloses the rubber sealing insert.

6 Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber sealing insert in

the cable gland base.

7 Hand-tighten the sealing nut.

8 If you are using both the

PoE IN and PoE OUT ports, then

assemble the second waterproof connector by repeating this

procedure for the other cable and cable gland assembly.

STEP 6: MOUNTING AND CONNECTING 5GHZ AND

2.4GH

Z EXTERNAL ANTENNAS

1 Disconnect the AP from all power sources.

2 Unscrew the metal caps that protect the antenna connectors.

Place the metal caps in a safe place, for later use.

3 Connect the 5GHz antennas to the required N-type female

antenna connectors on the AP. Use a torque wrench to tighten

the connectors to 1.58 N.m (14 in-lbs).

• When you are connecting two 5GHz antennas to the AP,

use the 5GHz ANT 0 and ANT 2 connectors.

• When you are connecting three 5GHz antennas, use the

all three 5GHz ANT 0, ANT 1 and ANT 2 connectors.

4 If the antennas come with RF coaxial cables (for example, a

patch antenna), then physically mount the antennas at your

desired location, preferably on the same mounting structure

as the AP.

NOTE: Mount the external antennas at least 20cm (7.9”) away

from each other and other antennas.

5 Connect the 2.4GHz RF coaxial cables to up to three 2.4GHz

standard N-type female connectors on the AP. Use a torque

wrench to tighten the connectors to 1.58 N.m (14 in-lbs).

• When you are connecting two 2.4GHz antennas to the

AP, use the 2.4GHz ANT 0 and ANT 2 connectors.

• When you are connecting three 2.4GHz antennas, use all

three 2.4GHz ANT 0, ANT 1 and ANT 2 connectors.

6 If the antennas come with RF coaxial cables (for example, a

patch antenna), then physically mount the antennas at your

desired location, preferably on the same mounting structure

as the AP.

NOTE: Mount the external antennas at least 20cm (7.9”) away

from each other and other antennas.

7 Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors as

described in the 7782-E N-Type Connector Sealing

Instructions.

CAUTION: If you are not connecting external antennas to the

AP, then make sure that the metal caps remain installed and

securely fastened to protect the interfaces from elements,

such as water and dirt.

STEP 6: MOUNTING AND CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL

GPS A

NTENNA

NOTE: If you are not connecting an external GPS antenna to the

AP, then make sure that the metal cap on the GPS connector

remains installed and securely fastened to protect the interface

from elements, such as water and dirt. After you have secured the

metal cap, skip this procedure and continue with Step 7:

Powering the AP with AC.

2 Unscrew the metal cap that protects the GPS antenna connector. Place the metal cap in a safe

place, in case you need it later.

3 Assemble the GPS antenna and mounting bracket using the supplied 8mm M4 Phillips screws

with split lock and flat washers. Tighten the Phillips screws to 0.79 N.m (7 in-lbs).

4 The antenna and mounting bracket GPS assembly can be mounted in one of two ways:

• If the AP is mounted outdoors with a mostly-clear view of the sky, then mount the GPS

assembly on the back of the AP.

• If the AP is mounted with no clear view of the sky, then mount the GPS assembly outdoors

with a clear view of the sky, typically on a pole or wall using one or two supplied steel clamps

or customer-supplied mounting hardware.

5 Connect the GPS antenna cable to the standard N-type female antenna connector on the AP. Use

a torque wrench to tighten the connectors to 1.58 N.m (14 in-lbs).

6 Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connector as described in the 7782-E N-Type

Connector Sealing Instructions to help prevent water and dirt from entering the AP.

7 Using the supplied cable ties, secure the GPS antenna cable so it does not rub on the bracket,

pole or AP.

STEP 7: POWERING THE AP WITH AC

1 Separate the AC cable connector parts by unscrewing the boot from the cable gland and the

cable gland from the connector housing.

2 Feed the end of the AC cable through the boot and cable gland.

3 Strip the AC cable as shown.

4 Insert the stripped part of the conductors into the appropriate terminals on the connector housing.

The conductors are color-coded and must be connected to the appropriate terminals as shown.

Typical AC wire colors:

- (Earth Ground): Green (US), Green/Yellow (EU)

- 1 (Neutral/Return): White or Gray (US), Blue (EU)

- 2 (Line/Hot): Black (US), Brown (EU)

- 3 (not used)

NOTE: The color coding of wire conductors varies by region. Before completing this step, check

your local wiring standards for guidance.

5 Using a small screwdriver, tighten the small screws around the connector housing to fix the

connector pins into the terminals.

6 Mate the cable gland with the connector housing, and then hand-tighten.

Two different-sized grommets are supplied in the AC connector assembly kit. Use the grommet

that is appropriate to the diameter of the AC cable that you are using.

7 Mate the boot with the cable gland, and then hand-tighten to seal.

8 Connect the AC cord connector that you have assembled to the AC power socket on the AP.

9 Connect the AC cord to an AC power source.

CAUTION: If required, you can reset the AP to its factory default settings by pressing the reset button

located inside the PoE OUT/RESET port. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS SO INSTRUCTED. (Doing this

resets the AP IP address to 192.168.0.1.)
