4 Connect the wireless SPEEDLAN 9201/SPEEDLAN 9204 to the customer's
Ethernet LAN or PC by connecting the RJ-45 plug on a standard Ethernet
CAT5 cable to the RJ-45 port connector, marked as "LAN" on indoor junction
box. Connect the other end of the Ethernet CAT5 cable to your Ethernet hub,
switch or router.
Important Note: Waterproofing the External Connectors!
Make sure you waterproof all the connectors, as follows: Apply two layers of electrical
tape to the connector (covering three inches of cable past the connector), and leave
approximately 3 inches of cable exposed on either side of the connector. An alternative
is to begin at the lowest point, so the tape overlaps from bottom to top creating a
shingled effect. (This creates an effective barrier against runoff.) Apply this "shingle
effect" to each layer of the sealing process. Then, apply one layer of insulation putty
over the top of the electrical tape, and leave at least one inch of the cable jacket to
ensure a good seal. Do not stretch the putty, as this causes thinning and reduces the
effectiveness of a good seal. Finally, apply five layers of electrical tape over the
insulation putty and extend at least one (1) inch past the putty. This is the most
important step in a creating a watertight seal. Make sure that there are no wrinkles in
the tape, and the final wrap must be completed from bottom to top.
