Installation Guide

1. Introduction

This guide is designed to provide the information needed to mount Altai C2s Super WiFi AP/CPE at the site location.

The document is applicable for hardware platform C2s and the following models.

Product name: C2s Dual-band 2x2 802.11ac WiFi AP/Bridge It is assumed in this document that a site survey has been performed before

the site installation. The appropriate antenna pole and AP locations have been selected. It is a good practice to have a document which consists of a map and drawing illustrating the AP and poles locations. A planning on IP network is also an important issue for network planning.

The user may need to refer the following document during C2s installation and Configuration.

2.7. C2s Waterproof Protection

Especially for outdoor installation, waterproof protection can enhance the protection from water Ingress. Both the LAN cable and the unit should be wrapped.

1. Wrap the cable with a layer of rubber tape. Start from 5cm below the

connector. Wrap a loop and overlap a half. Continue until it reaches under the connector.

2. Wrap the C2s unit with a layer of rubber tape. Start from 1cm above of

the lid. Wrap a loop and overlap a half. Continue until it reaches the bottom. The bottom should be completely shielded by the rubber tape.

3. Electrical Protection

3.1. Surge Protector

It is strongly advised the C2s unit be installed with surge protector (ordered separately), especially for outdoor deployment, to protect it against electrical surge. The surge protector should be grounded properly and installed as close to the C2s unit as possible in order to prevent the C2s from the electrical damage.

3.2. Lightning Protection System

The C2s unit should be installed with a lightning rod and protected by relevant lightning protection system to avoid any potential electrical damage caused by lightning.

3.3. LAN Cable for Outdoor Installation

STP cable with shielded connectors is required to protect the C2s against ESD. Follow the instruction to crimp the cable:

1. Cut about 4cm of the wire coating.

2. Untwist eight wires with the order from left to right: Orange White,

Orange, White Green, Blue, White Blue, Green, White Brown, Brown. The order will be the same on both sides.

3. Straighten eight wires and cut the wire with only 2cm extension

4. Insert the wires into an RJ45 modular jack. The hook should face

down. All eight wires should touch the top of the jack.

5. The foil and the shield of RJ45 connector should have direct contact.

6. Insert the modular jack into the crimping tool. Press down on the tool

firmly.
