Installation

Install the ETH-SP near an Ethernet
device, either on a pole or a wall.
Follow the appropriate steps for your
installation:

Pole-Mounting

1. Thread a metal strap or cable tie (not

the back of the ETH-SP.

Note: If the Ethernet device is

mounted on the pole with a metal
strap, you may use the same strap
to attach the ETH-SP.

2. Wrap the strap or tie around the pole

and secure it to the pole.

3. Remove the port cover by pressing

on the center and sliding the cover
downward.

Note: If you are using a drain wire

for grounding, proceed to the last
section, Connecting Ethernet.

through the center of the Grounding

Point of the ETH-SP.
