Top Interface Connectors ENGLISH Hardware Installation Powering the Access Point 1 2 Figure 3: Top panel connectors # Connector Description 1 5 GHz Antenna connector for the 5 GHz band antenna 2 2.4 GHz Antenna connector for the 2.4 GHz band antenna You can power the DWL-8710AP by connecting a PoE injector’s PoE-OUT to the LAN1 port (PoE-Input) on the DWL-8710AP.
ENGLISH Protecting the Network Ports The DWL-8710AP’s Ethernet ports are equipped with a set of protective sealing caps designed for outdoor use. Please refer to figure 7 for how to correctly attach and secure the Ethernet cables to the DWL-8710AP. Figure 7: Securing the Ethernet cable Mounting the AP to a Wall The DWL-8710AP can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
2. Depending on the orientation of the pole you wish to install the AP onto (horizontal or vertical), attach the pole mounting bracket to the mounting base plate accordingly using the screws. Refer to figure 13 for the proper position of the pole mounting bracket for each direction. Figure 11: Attaching the antennas Mounting the AP to a Pole The DWL-8710AP can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
ENGLISH 4. Choose the location where you want to mount the AP and place the strap around the pole. Tighten and lock the strap to secure the pole mount bracket with the AP to the pole. Figure 15: AP placement orientation 5. Remove the protective caps covering the antenna ports on the AP, if any. Next, attach the 2 antennas marked “2.4 GHz” to the designated 2.4 GHz connectors and the 2 antennas marked “5 GHz” to the designated 5 GHz connectors on the AP.
