Mounting a Mobility 5181 Access Point
2
NOTE
The access point must be mounted with the RJ45 cable connectors oriented upwards to ensure
proper operation.
CAUTION
Do not supply power to the Mobility 5181 Access Point Power Tap until the cabling of the access
point is complete.
CAUTION
For Power Tap installations, an electrician is required to open the Power Tap unit, feed the power
cable through the Line AC connector, secure the power cable to the unit’s three screw
termination block and tighten the unit’s Line AC clamp (by hand) to ensure the power cable
cannot be pulled from the Power Tap enclosure. Only a certified electrician should conduct the
installation.
a. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power
Tap’s DATA IN connector or the Power Injector’s Data In connector.
b. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Tap’s DATA/PWR OUT connector or the
Power Injector’s Data & Power Out connector and the Mobility 5181 Access Point LAN port.
c. For Power Tap installations, have a certified electrician open the Power Tap enclosure,
feed the power cable through the unit’s LINE AC connector, secure the power cable to the
unit’s three screw termination block and tighten the unit’s LINE AC clamp (by hand) to
ensure the power cable cannot be pulled from the unit.
d. For Power Tap installations, attach a ground cable between the EARTH GROUND connector
(on the back of the unit) to a suitable earth ground connection as defined by your local
electrical code.
e. Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Tap (or Power
Injector) and Mobility 5181 Access Point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). Neither the
Power Tap or Power Injector has an On/Off power switch. It receives power as soon as AC
power is applied. For more information, see
“Power options” on page 26.
8. Use the supplied cable connector to cover the Mobility 5181 Access Point’s Console, LAN/PoE
and WAN connectors.
9. Once power has been applied, Verify the behavior of the Mobility 5181 Access Point LEDs. For
more information, see “Mobility 5181 Access Point LED indicators” on page 33.
The Mobility 5181 Access Point is ready to configure. For information on a Mobility 5181 Access
Point default configuration, see
“Getting Started” on page 35.
NOTE
If installing the Mobility 5181 Access Point in an outdoor area prone to high winds and rain, Brocade
recommends using the Mobility 5181 Access Point Heavy Weather Kit (Part No.
BR-KT-5181-HW-01R). This kit shields a Mobility 5181 Access Point from high winds and water
damage as a result of driving rain.
