6) 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-MAX System. If
you are unsure of your ability to perform these tasks, contact a more qualified installer.
3.4 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 CPE is working, align your outdoor transceiver correctly, and confirm that you can
connect to your service provider.
