Step 8: Plug in the Cables
: Unscrew the sealing cap for installation of the cable. Always use a straight cable from PoE to the device. When you
use a 4-pair cross over ethernet cable, the reload functionality gets activated and forcibly deletes the operating image.
1. Plug one end of the straight-through Cat5e/Cat6 cable into the Ethernet Port interface of the device by following the
Weatherproofing steps explained under Step 5. Connect the other end of the cable into the PWR LAN-OUT port on
the PoE Injector.

2. Optionally, plug the Serial cable into the serial RJ11 telephone jack inside the enclosure for debugging and
management, and audible antenna alignment.
3. To connect the device through a hub or a switch to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the
network interface card in the Personal Computer and the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 LAN-IN port on the
PoE Injector.
4. To connect the device directly to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the network interface card
in the Personal Computer and the RJ45 LAN-IN port on the PoE Injector.
Step 9: Install Surge Protector
Proxim recommends two approved lightning surge protectors to be installed, one near to the device and the other at the
building ingress point.
: To buy a suitable Surge Protector, place an order separately with your distributor.
Perform the following steps to ensure proper surge protection:
1. Mount the surge protector near the outdoor device and use 10 AWG or larger wire to connect the protector’s ground
lug to the appropriate mounting ground point. The outdoor device and co-located surge protector should have a
common grounding point by using the shortest possible grounding cable.
2. Mount a second surge protector near the building ingress and use 10 AWG or larger wire to connect the surge
protector’s ground lug to earth ground as shown in the following figure.
