Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about the
WAP-5000.

1. Locate an optimum location for the WAP-5000.

2. Assemble the antennas to WAP-5000. Try to place them to a position that can best cover your

wireless network. The antenna

’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.

3. Using provided CAT5 waterproof cable; connect the waterproof connector port of the WAP-5000

to the ODU port of DC Injector.

4. Using Category 3 or higher UTP or STP cable, connect the RJ-45 port of DC Injector to a 10Mbps

or 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch, and connect the management station to a hub or switch on
the same LAN.

5. Connect the output cord of power adapter to the DC Injector

’s DC input jack, and plug it into an AC

outlet to power up the WAP-5000.

6. Connect the green grounding wire on WAP-5000 to the same grounding system with the AC wall

outlet. The grounding system must comply with the National Electrical Code and safety standards
that apply in your country. Always check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether your outdoor installation is properly grounded.

Note: ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WAP-5000. Otherwise, the product may be

damaged.
