Installation Overview

The installation process is summarized in the following steps. The following sections in this chapter provide additional details.

1.Make sure the APs are mounted and configured as specified in Chapter 2.

2.Plan and implement a grounding system that meets local electrical codes and safety standards.

3.Install the RoamAbout Lightning Protector.

4.Provide and install an antenna support structure as necessary. Make sure that the support structure is connected to the grounding system.

5.Connect the exposed metal connectors of the low‐loss antenna cable to the grounding system.

6.Mount the antenna to the support structure.

7.Connect the antenna cables.

8.Route and connect the low‐loss antenna cable to the RoamAbout Lightning Protector that has been installed indoors.

9.Connect the cable assembly from the RoamAbout radio card in the AP to the Lightning Protector.

10.After verifying that the communications link is fully operational, secure all cables and use weatherproofing tape to seal all outdoor connectors.
