2 Getting Started
2.1 Skills Required
The AB-Access Product Installation procedures require some construction-related experience
using both power and hand tools. Answer the following questions to determine whether you
have the skills to attempt the installation.
• Are you comfortable working at heights?
• (The installation may require you to climb a ladder and work at heights
depending on where you need to install your outdoor transceiver. Keep in mind,
you will also carry tools and equipment with you to the installation site.)
• Have you ever installed an RJ-45 connector to an Ethernet cable?
• (This is required to connect the outdoor transceiver and the indoor junction box
or access panel.)
• Have you run telephone cable, wired a telephone jack, or connected telephone
wire connections to a punch down block?
• Have you ever installed expansion shields into brick or masonry walls?
• (This requires drilling holes in masonry using masonry drill bits.)
• Have you ever wired an electrical outlet?
• Although you won’t wire an outlet, you will be required to run ground wires and
clamp them to an earth grounding rod or a cold water pipe.
If you can perform all the above tasks, then you should be able to install the AB-Access System.
If you are unsure of your ability to perform these tasks, contact a more qualified installer.
2.2 Information Needed From Your Service Provider
Your service provider should have supplied you with the following information. Please contact
your service provider before commencing installation, if you do not have all of this information:
• Locations of any local Access Points, which you should be able to connect to.
• The IP address of the radio being installed.
• An IP address and subnet mask needed to configure a Test PC. This is so you
can check to see if your SU is working, align your outdoor transceiver correctly,
and confirm that you can connect to your service provider.
