Chapter 3: Mounting the Enclosure 3. Mounting the Enclosure You can mount the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) within the outdoor enclosure on a variety of structures and adjust the enclosure to a vertical orientation for optimum radio transmission. For example, you can mount the SmartPath AP enclosure to a nonpenetrating roof stand or to a Winegard bracket, often used for mounting satellite dishes. The pole bracket is adjustable to fit a pipe with a 1" to 3.5" (2.5 cm to 8.9 cm) diameter.

Chapter 3: Mounting the Enclosure The SmartPath AP is shown pole mounted in the outdoor enclosure. A shielded Ethernet cable provides it with a network connection and power through PoE. The pole is grounded, and the SmartPath AP is electrically connected to the grounded pole. The shielded Ethernet cable passes to the Ethernet protection device just inside the building beyond the Ethernet cable entry point. A second Ethernet cable connects to the network.

Chapter 3: Mounting the Enclosure 3.1 Pole Mount To provide unobstructed RF coverage, mount the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) in a relatively open area. At a minimum, mount it on a pole or mast so that the antennas have at least a three-foot clearance from any nearby obstructions. NOTE: To help protect the SmartPath AP from lightning strikes, do not place it at the highest point of a building or structure.

Chapter 3: Mounting the Enclosure Pole Bracket SmartPath AP Enclosure Horizontal Pole Earth Not good. The face of the pole bracket tilts downward. When the assembly is complete, the antennas will also tilt downward, providing suboptimal RF coverage. Not good. In this case, the face of the pole bracket tilts upward. When the assembly is complete, the antennas will also tilt upward, again providing suboptimal RF coverage.

Chapter 3: Mounting the Enclosure 3. Connect the enclosure to the mounting plate as shown in Figure 5. 3 Pass the mounting plate screws through the openings in the enclosure, a #10 washer, #10 lock washer, and 10-32 nut. Use a 3/8” (10 mm) drive socket to secure the assembly. Mounting Plate Pole Bracket SmartPath AP Enclosure Figure 5. Attaching the enclosure to the mounting plate. 4.

Chapter 3: Mounting the Enclosure 3.2 Flat Surface Mount When mounting the enclosure to a flat surface, the only other accessory that you need is the mounting plate. To ground the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA), you must run a grounding wire from the lug nut on the underside of the enclosure to a grounded object in the building. 1. Attach the mounting plate to a flat surface that can support its weight—approximately 15 pounds (6.

Chapter 4: Connecting the Ethernet Cable and Power Line 4. Connecting the Ethernet Cable and Power Line The SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) enclosure ships with an Ethernet protection device installed in the enclosure. It protects the SmartPath AP from any electrical surges on the Ethernet line that might occur. The device also directs some of the electricity it receives through PoE to power the fan inside the enclosure.

Chapter 5: Enclosing the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) 2. Connect the RP SMA coaxial cables to the antenna connectors, run the short Ethernet cable from the right port in the Ethernet protection device to the ETH0 port on the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA), and connect the second power line to the SmartPath AP 48-volt DC power connector, as shown in Figure 11. Link the antenna connectors on the enclosure to those on the SmartPath AP with four RP SMA coaxial cables. Run the 12" (30.

Chapter 6: Attaching External Antennas 6. Attaching External Antennas The dual-band omnidirectional antennas are available from Black Box in a set of four to fit the four N-type antenna connectors on the top of the enclosure. The two connectors near the rear are for the 2.4-GHz radio, and the two near the front are for the 5-GHz radio. You can attach any of the antennas in the set to any of the N connectors on the enclosure; they are all interchangeable. 1.

Chapter 7: Connecting to a Power Source and to the Network 7. Connecting to a Power Source and to the Network The final step is to install an Ethernet protection device, ground it, and connect the Ethernet cables and power line. 1. Attach the Ethernet protection device to the building at the entry point of the shielded Ethernet cable from the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) inside the building. 2.
