WIRELESS ROUTER INSTALLATION
Before you can install the AirPro Gold unit in the network, you must
provide power for the unit by connecting the AC power cord. Before
making any cable connections, however, you need to properly ground
the unit.
GROUND CONNECTION
The P-Com AirPro Gold unit should be grounded at the ground nut on the back
of the unit before you connect any other cables. After the unit is grounded,
make sure that any other equipment that you connect to the unit is also
properly grounded.
