You just can use antenna offered by manufacterur
7. Connect the Access Point to the ground via ground connection which is beside the RJ-45 port.
Thus all, the hardware installation is completed.
Notice:
There is a plastic film covering the build-in antenna. Please tear this film while using
ZA-5000-D.
Warning：
Please confirm ground connection of the Access Point.
Please confirm ground connection of the STP cable, and traverse an EMI suppression
ferrite ring core.
Antenna Installation
The ZA-5000-D needs an external antenna. You should choose your antenna as your need.

Note:
ZA-5000-D will automatically discontinue transmissions
when ether absence information to transmit or operational
failure, ZA-5000-D use the module AG-621, FCC ID:M4Y-0AG621
Warning：
Please do not put Access Point near these places: ele ctri c power line, elec tric li gh t,
electricity or any places nearby strong electric power, otherwise it may make damage to
Access Point.
The inner Antenna Lightning Protection is in base level. You should add advanced Antenna
Lightning Protection if condition possible.
