Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Static electricity can cause bodily harm or damage electronic devices. To avoid
damage, keep static-sensitive devices in the static-protective packaging until the
installation period. The following guidelines are also recommended:
Wear a grounded wrist or ankle strap and use gloves to prevent direct contact to
the device before servicing the device. Avoid nylon gloves or work clothes,
which tend to build up a charge.
Always disconnect the power from the device before servicing it.
Before plugging a cable into any port, discharge the voltage stored on the cable
by touching the electrical contacts to the ground surface.
The EKI-6333AC-2G Series is a feature rich wireless AP which provides a reliable
wireless connectivity for industrial environments. The PoE injector enhances
flexibility in deployment of this AP even where the DC power supply is hard to fulfill.
With the support of STP, WMM and IGMP snooping protocols, EKI-6333AC-2G
effectively improves the reliability of wireless connectivity, especially in applications
that need high reliability and high throughput data transmission. To secure wireless
connections, EKI-6333AC-2G implements the latest encryption technologies
including WPA2/WPA for powerful security authentication.

2.2.1Wall Mounting
This section provides instructions for installing the access point. It is recommended
that only personnel with an understanding of wireless access points and bridging
techniques and grounding methods install the device.
Warning! The installation of the access point must comply with local and national
electrical codes.
Note!When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install
the cabling.
When mounting an access point, make sure the access point is oriented with the LED
indicators clearly visible.
In addition, the access point must be mounted in such a way as to ensure that all
antenna ports and the console port are accessible for future use.
1.On the installation site, place the device firmly against the wall. Make sure the
device is vertically and horizontally level.
2.Use the location of the keyhole slots on the back of the device to mark two
screw hole locations on the mounting surface.
3.Remove the device from the wall and drill holes over each marked location (2)
on the wall, keeping in mind that the holes must accommodate wall sinks in
addition to the screws.
4.Insert the wall sinks into the walls.
5.Insert a screw in a wall sink and rotate it to secure. Do not tighten at this point.
Repeat for the remaining location, see the following figure.
