Installing the Access Points

Follow these steps to connect the power injector:

1. Connect the other end of the provided Ethernet cable (already connected to the

OAP180) to the RJ-45 port labeled Output on the power injector.

2. Connect a straight-through unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable (not included) from a

local LAN switch to the RJ-45 port labeled Input on the power injector. See the

illustration above. Use Category 5e or better UTP cable for 10/100BASE-TX

connections.

3. Insert the power cable plug directly into the standard AC receptacle on the power

injector. See the illustration above.

4. Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power source.

5. Check the LED on top of the power injector to be sure that power is being supplied to

the OAP180 through the Ethernet connection.

Align Antenna

After the OAP180 unit is mounted, connected, and the radios are operating, the anten-

nas must be accurately aligned to ensure optimum performance of the OAP180 links. In

Note:

The RJ-45 port on the power injector is an MDI port. If connecting directly to a

computer for testing the link, use a crossover cable.

Note:

For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a

line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
