2 Getting Started
2.1 Skills Required
The AB-Access U-NII 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 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 if you are not using a standard length cable interconnect cable kit
between the outdoor transceiver and the indoor junction box.)
• 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, via
your local AB-Access System provider.
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 your Subscriber Unit.
• IP address and subnet mask, which you need 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.
• Any required static configuration for AB-Access Extender units e.g. IP addresses,
channels to be used etc.
