OUTDOOR INSTALLATI ON WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the

equipment you are installing.

CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power
lines are anywhere w here pos sibl e c ontact can be made. Antennas, masts,
towers, guy wires or cables ma y lean or fall and cont a ct these lines. People
may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of
equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure that equipment or
personnel do not come in contac t directly or indirectly with power lines.

The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest
power line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not
contact power if it falls either during installation or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.

 Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.

 Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.

 Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.

 If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.

 If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO

MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power com pany.

 Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECUREL Y GROUNDED, A ND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO
ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static

build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.

 The base of the antenna mast or tow er must be conne cted dir ectly to the buildi ng pr otectiv e ground or t o one or more

approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.

 Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.

IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:

 DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.

 Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in contact with elec trical

power.

Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and make sure that emergency
medical aid has been reques ted.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

If you found the AP is working improperly or stop responding to you, please read this troubleshooting first before
contacting the IFS Tech Support for help. Some problems can be solved by yourself within very short tim e.

Scenario Solution

The AP is not responding to m e whe n
I want to access it by web browser.

I can’t get connected to the Internet.

I can’t locate my AP by my wireless
device.

a. Please check the connection of the power cord and the

Ethernet cable of this AP. All cords and cables should be
correctly and firmly inserted to the AP.

b. If all LEDs on this AP are off, please check the status of

power adapter, and make sure it is correctly powered.
c. You must use the same IP address section that AP uses.
d. Are you using MAC or IP address filter? Try to connect

the AP by another computer and see if it works; if not,

please reset the AP to the factory default settings (Press

the ‘reset’ button for over 10 seconds).
e. If you did a firmware upgrade and this happens, contact

the IFS Tech Support for help.
f. If all the solutions above don’t work, contact the IFS

Tech Support for help.
a. Check the Internet connection status from the router that

is connected with the AP.
b. Please be patient. Sometimes, Internet is just that slow.
c. I f you have connected a computer to Internet directly

before, try to do that again, and check if you can get

connected to Internet with your computer directly

attached to the device provided by your Internet ser vic e

provider.
d. Check PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and password in

your router again.
e. Call your Internet service provider and check if there’s

something wrong with their service.
f. If you just can’t connect to one or more website, but you

can still use other internet services, please check

URL/Keyword filter.
g. Try to reset the AP and try again later.
h. Reset the device provided by your Internet service

provider.
i. Try to use IP address instead of hostname. If you can

use IP address to communicate with a remote server,

but can’t use hostname, please check DNS setting.
a. ‘Broadcast ESSID’ set to off?
b. The antenna is properly secured.
c. Are you too far from your AP? Try to get closer.

File downloading

is very slow or

breaks frequently.

I can’t log into the web m anagement
interface; The password is wrong.

The AP becomes hot

d. Please remember that you have to input ESSID on your

wireless client manually, if ESSID broadcast is disabled.
a. Are you using QoS function? Try to disable it and try

again.
b. Internet is slow sometimes; try to be patient.
c. Try to reset the AP and see if it’s better after that.
d. Try to know what computers do on your local network. If

someone’s transferring big files, other people will think

Internet is really slow.
e. If this never happens before, call you Internet service

provider to know if there is something wrong with their

network.
a. Make sure you’re connecting to the correct IP address of

the AP.
b. Password is case-sensitive. Make sure the ‘Caps Lock’

light is not illuminated.
c. If you really forget the password, do a hardware reset.
a. This is not a malfunction, if you can keep your hand on

the AP’s case.
b. If you smell something wrong or see the smoke coming

out from AP or A/C power adapter, please disconnect

the AP and A/C power adapter from utility power (make

sure it’s safe before you’re doing this!), and call your

dealer for help.
