Fortress Wireless Access Bridge: Installation

™ Slide the compression nut, with the threaded opening
facing toward the connector, over the connector and
onto the cable.
CAUTION: There
are four different
possible alignments be-
tween the RJ-45 connec-
tor and the connector
boot. If the boot and
connector are not in the
correct alignment, the
RJ-45 connector will not
plug into the Bridge’s
WAN port.
™ Slide the compression bushing over the connector and
onto the cable.
™ Slide the threaded coupler, with the flanged end facing
toward the compression nut and bushing, over the
connector and onto the cable.
™ With the smooth-side prongs on the two halves of the
connector collar facing out and aligned with the RJ-45
connector’s locking tab, fit the collar around the
connector so that the connector’s locking tab is
compressed (the contact end of the connector extends
approximately 1/2" from the collar). Fit the outer tabs on
one half of the connector collar into the slots of the
other, and squeeze the two halves of the connector
collar together until they snap into place.
NOTE: Plugging
the connector/boot
into the WAN port is de-
scribed in Step 4 of Sec-
tion 2.4.5.
™ Align the primary key tab on the inner ring of the
connector boot with the cable connector’s locking tab.
Maintaining this alignment, fit the RJ-45 connector-
collar assembly into the boot through the boot’s
threaded end and snap the collar tabs into the boot
slots. Screw the connector boot securely onto the
threaded coupler.
WARNING: To
avoid the risk of
severe electrical shock,
do not remove the cover
plate while the Fortress
Bridge is out of doors.
™ Fit the compression bushing into the flanged end of the
threaded connector, and fit the compression nut over
the flanges. Screw the compression nut securely onto
the threaded connector until the bushing is compressed
around the cable to provide a water seal.
2 Attach the cover plate to the Bridge’s front panel with the
plate’s three captive screws, as shown in Figure 2.3.
3 If only one antenna will be attached to the Bridge, screw the
antenna port cap onto the unused antenna port.
