other end to the lightning arrestor.
b. Connect one end of the 3m (9.8 ft) RF coaxial cable to the lightning arrestor, and connect the
other end to the outdoor antenna. Continue with step 4.
4. Connect the antenna to the MP-632 N-type connector using the RF coaxial cable provided in the
antenna package.
5. Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent water entering the
connectors.
Connecting Cables to the Unit
1. Attach the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the MP-632.
2. For extra protection against moisture, apply weatherproofing tape (not included) around the
Ethernet connector.
3. Be sure to ground the unit with an appropriate grounding wire (not included) by attaching it to
the grounding screw on the unit.
4. Be sure to install a lightning arrestor on the Ethernet cable between the bridge and power
injector. The lightning arrestor should be placed outdoors, immediately before the Ethernet cable
enters the building.
