*The HACST cable is only required for Access Point or router with TNC Connector (i.e.
Linksys or Cisco Brand).
**The outdoor cable is required and must be purchased separately
INSTALLATION
Step 1 Determine the extra cable length necessary for your application. Measure
the distance between the location you wish to mount your Outdoor Antenna and the
location of your Wireless Access Point. ( If you have not yet purchased your extension
cable, please do so from your nearest Hawking Hi-Gain Antenna provider. Hawking

Step 3 After you have attached the Extension cable
to your Wireless Access Point, install the Surge
Protector to the N-Plug at the opposite end of the
cable.
Twist the N-Plug clockwise to fasten it onto the
connector of the N-Plug Extension Cable.
The Surge Protector (HASP1) protects your sensitive WLAN devices from high
voltage surges created by outdoor lightning strikes or a sudden uctuation in
electric current. The Surge Protector must be grounded in order to operate
properly.
Grounding: To properly ground the Surge Protector you must use standard copper wire and
strip one end. Fasten the stripped end to the Surge Protector using a screw driver. Take the
opposite end of the copper wire and mount it to a sturdy metal object using a screw or nut.
The metal object must have direct contact with the copper of the wire. Please contact
techsupport@hawkingtech.com if you have any questions regarding this step.
Step 4 Once you have successfully grounded your Surge Protector, connect the other
end to the N-Plug Extension cable (HAC10N or HAC30N [Black] are sold separately).
Twist the N-Plug clockwise to fasten it onto the connector
of the N-Plug Extension Cable
