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.
NOTE: If you want to run a second Ethernet line to the SmartPath AP ETH1 port, you can purchase two more Ethernet protection
devices (one to be installed indoors, and one to be installed outdoors) from Black Box, mount the outdoor device it to the
rear of the enclosure in the lower left corner and mount the indoor device indoors.
To connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet protection device inside the enclosure and ensure a weatherproof seal, do the
following:
1. Remove the plastic nut from the right cable grip on the underside of the enclosure.
2. Thread shielded Ethernet cable through the nut, pass it through the opening in the cable grip, and then connect it to the left
Ethernet port in the Ethernet protector in the lower right interior corner of the enclosure.
3. Leaving some slack in the cable inside the enclosure, reattach the nut, and then use an adjustable open-end wrench to tighten
it securely around the cable (see Figure 8).
