Cisco IR500 Series WPAN Gateway and Range Extender Installation and Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Overview
Assembly Details
Protective Vent Port
The protective vent port relieves pressure buildup inside the extender chassis that can be caused by
changing temperatures in the installation environment. This prevents pressure from building up and
damaging enclosure seals and the potential exposure of sensitive components to water. The vent also
protects the extender interior from dust, dirt, water, and other environmental elements.
Ground Connection
The ground connection is used to ground the WPAN extender. A provided wired grounding lug is
attached to the ground connection using screws. The other end of the ground wire is connected to an earth
ground, such as a grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a pole that is grounded.
Power Connector
The power connector connects to the Cisco AC power cable shipped with the unit. Figure 1-7 shows the
3 pin AC power connector.
