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.
