Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

This chapter describes safety precautions and product information you have to know and check before

installing the WNAP-6300.

2.1 Preparation before Installation

Professional Installation Required

Please seek assistance from a professional installer who is well trained in the RF installation and

knowledgeable in the local regulations.

Safety Precautions

1. To keep you safe and install the hardware properly, please read and follow these safety

precautions.

2. If you are installing WNAP-6300 for the first time, for your safety as well as others’, please seek

assistance from a professional installer who has received safety training on the hazards

involved.

3. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site, especially

where there are electric power and phone lines.

4. When installing WNAP-6300, please note the following things:

♦

Do not use a metal ladder;

♦

Do not work on a wet or windy day;

♦

Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.

5. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of it. Strong RF fields are present

when the transmitter is on.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Page 4

Installation Precautions

To keep the WNAP-6300 well while you are installing it, please read and follow these installation

precautions.

1. Users MUST use a proper and well-installed surge arrestor with the WNAP-6300; otherwise, a

random lightening could easily cause fatal damage to the WNAP-6300. EMD (Lightning)

DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRNTY.

2. Users MUST use the “Power cord & PoE Injector” shipped in the box with the WNAP-6300. Use

of other options will cause damage to the WNAP-6300.

3. Users MUST power off the WNAP-6300 first before connecting the external antenna to it. Do not

switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB management without physically

attaching the external antenna onto the WNAP-6300; otherwise, damage might be caused to

the WNAP-6300 itself.

Product Package

The product package you have received should contain the following items:

The WNAP -6300 x 1

Pole Mounting Ring x 1

PoE Injector x 1

Power Adapter x 1

Quick Installation Guide (QIG) x 1

2.2 Hardware Installation

Physical Connection

1. The bottom of the WNAP-6300 is the movable cover. Grab the cover by pressing the push bolt

and pull it out as the figure shown below.

Figure 3 Move the Cover align the rail

2. Plug a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port. (Cat5/5e with 8-wire required)

Figure 4 Cable Connection

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Page 7

3. Slide the cover back to seal the bottom of the WNAP-6300.

Figure 5 Seal the Bottom

4. Plug the power cord into the DC port of the PoE injector as the following right picture shows.

Figure 6 Connect to PoE Injector

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Page 8

5. Plug the other side of the Ethernet cable as shown in Step 3 into the PoE port of the PoE injector

and get the complete set ready.

Figure 7 Complete Set

Note:

Be reminded, the UTP wire distance toward your WNAP-6300 to the Ethernet devices,

such as Ethernet Switch, is 100 meters, this passive POE injector can be in any point

of this 100 meters UTP distance where there is a shell or protected location for this

POE injector.

Warning:

The POE injector is with one POE port and one LAN port, NEVER connect the POE

port to any other Ethernet device besides WNAP-6300 while this injector is powered,

this will damage the connected Ethernet device.
