Weatherproofing the AP3865e Connections
ExtremeNetworksrecommendsthatallconnectionsbetweentheAPandantennasare
weatherproofedusingoneofthefollowingweatherproofkits(notsupplied):
•WirelessWeatherproofingKits:

Weatherproofing the LAN1 and LAN2 glands
ExtremeNetworksrecommendsthatallglandsbetorquedproperlytoavoidAPfailuredueto
weatherdamageduetomoisture.Thefollowingguidelinesshouldbefollowedtoensureproper
installation:
•Boththeglandsmustbetorquedproperlyto10inch‐pounds.
• Careshouldbetakentoensurethatnoareasaroundthe
glandsareexposed.
Caution: Failure to torque your glands properly leads to corrosion by salt and ice-melt deposits.
Loosened glands will result in moisture damage and AP failure.
