AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide 17
The GE2 port on the unit can be used if a second data connection for an external device (e.g. surveillance camera)
is required. Ensure the GE2 WAN port has been configured to permit an attached external device during the
configuration process.
When making connections using these ports, a properly rated RJ45 connector is required. One weatherproof RJ45
plug kit is provided with each access point. When connecting cables to the AP 7161 Ethernet ports, follow the
instructions in the connector packaging and tighten the connectors to create a weatherproof seal. Shielded cables
are required.

The grounding screw is located to the right of the GE1/POE port and above the GND symbol.

inch pounds (lbf-in).
• Attach a ring lug to the grounding cable and remove the grounding screw to attach the ring lug to the access
point. Secure it to the unit by reinserting the grounding screw. Tighten the grounding screw to 30 inch pounds
