FIGURE 3 – INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1.

Unpack the mounting hardware from the box. Determine if this will be a pole or wall mount application.
The included Mounting kit is designed to support poles up to 2 in (5.8 cm) in diameter. If surface or wall mounting, the optional
NWBKT hardware will be required.

Step 2.

A. Route the RJ45 connectorized Ethernet cable through the

weather tight gland connection as shown at left.

Note: The slit rubber washer allows a pre-terminated

Ethernet cable to be used.

Once the cable has been routed through the weather

connection as shown above, push the split rubber gasket
into place and loosely screw the cap that goes over the
rubber washer.

B. Snap the RJ-45 connector in place as shown

Step 3.

Slide the weather proof assembly over the cable so it can be
screwed into the enclosure gland. Make sure the rubber sealing
ring is in place as shown in step 3A.

Tighten the weather proof assembly into the enclosure and also
tighten the cap that squeezes the rubber washer over the Ethernet

cable as shown.

Step 4.

A. Connect one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the OUT

port of the CNGE1IPS or other 35W PoE Injector (sold
separately) and the other end to LAN of the access point.

Maximum length of the RJ-45 CAT5 cable is 100 meters.*

B. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable attached to the PoE

Injector to a network device, such as to a switch or to the PC
you will use to configure the access point.

C. Connect the power adaptor to the main electrical supply

and the power plug into the socket of the PoE Injector .

PoE power input: Passive PoE (range 36 to 48 VDC).
The NW10[E] can also be powered by a suitable IEEE

802.3af/at PSE device such as a PoE switch or injector.

D. A Drip Loop is recommended as additional precaution

against moisture entering the Access Point housing.
