will be compromised and your warranty voided.

4.6.3 Assembling the Weather Resistant RJ-45 Connector Gland

To ensure proper protection from the elements, the weather resistant RJ-45 con-

nector gland must be installed correctly. To do so requires the installer to termi-

nate the Ethernet Cable that will be plugged into the XAP-1040. The diagram below

indicates the correct assembly for the RJ-45 Connector Gland.

RJ-45 Connector Gland assembly

NOTE: Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted

pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) cables can be used. For best

results, it is recommended that Category-6 shielded twisted pair

be used to ensure stable data transmission at highest data rates.

Once the RJ45 Connector Gland has been assembled and the Ethernet Cable has

been terminated, the cable can now be plugged into the XAP-1040. You can now at-

tach the RJ-45 Connector Gland by placing it over the cable connector and turning

it clockwise until it is ﬁrmly secured. At this time, also tighten the gland around the

cable by turning it clockwise and thus creating a water-tight seal.

4.6.4 Connecting to the Power Source

The XAP-1040 is POE ready and supports Legacy (48v 1a), 802.3af, and 802.3at POE

injectors. A POE injector kit, including power supply and noise suppressor are

included with the device. To apply power, simply connect the opposite end of the

Ethernet cable to which the access point is already connected to the provided POE

injector or other POE switch or injector. An Ethernet cable length of up to 300 feet

can be used. DO NOT yet apply power to the POE injector or switch.
