1 Connect the adapter’s “To AP” RJ-45 connector to the Omni-
Access OAW-AP70 FE Port.
2 Connect the adapter’s DB-9 connector to the serial port on
the console terminal.
3 Connect the adapter’s “To Network” RJ-45 connector to the
LAN.
The LAN connection is optional unless POE is being used to power the AP. For
convenience, the adapter kit includes an FE coupler to connect RJ-45 cable
ends together.
4 Connect power to the OmniAccess OAW-AP70.
The OmniAccess OAW-AP70 can receive electrical power using the following
options:
z POE–If connecting the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 to a device that supplies
IEEE 802.3af compliant POE, no additional power connection is necessary.
z Power Outlet
NOTE—When the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 is installed in an air-handling space, as
described in NEC (2002) Article 300.22(C), POE must be used instead of a power
outlet.
If local regulations and practices permit, connect the optional AC power
adapter (not included) to the DC power socket on the rear panel of the
OmniAccess OAW-AP70 and plug it into an appropriate power outlet.
NOTE—The indicator LEDs on the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 will remain dark during this procedure.
CAUTION—Be sure to comply with electrical grounding standards during all phases of
installation and operation of the AP. Do not allow the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 or optional
power adapter (if used) to be connected to or make contact with metal or power outlets on a
different electrical ground than the device to which it is connected. Also, never connect the
AP to external storm grounding sources.
CAUTION—To prevent personal injury or damage to equipment, use only the AC
power adapter certified for this device in the country where it is used.
