Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Powering the Access Point
Step 1 Before connecting DC power to the access point, ensure that the ground is connected to the access point.
See the “Grounding the Access Point” section on page 2-42.
Step 2 Turn off all power sources to the access point, including the DC power source.
Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit. Statement 1028
Caution When installing DC power to the access point, always connect the access point end of the cable FIRST.
When removing the DC power connector, always disconnect the access point end of the cable LAST.
Step 3 Use a large Phillips or Flat Blade screw driver to remove the covering plug of the DC Power-In port. Do
not discard plug and rubber seal unless you are certain that the port will not have to be re-plugged. (see
Figure 2-28 for the location of the DC power connector).

Loosen the thread-lock sealing nut of the cable gland by turning it counter clockwise, but do not remove
it (see Figure 2-29).
Note Verify that the cable gland has a rubber seal and ensure that it is not damaged.
Warning Failure to install the Cable Gland properly will cause the cable grip to leak.
