2.2 Hardware Installation
After you check all of your packages are ready, you can start installing your wireless
outdoor bridge. You can mount to a pipe or a side of a building. The steps showed in
following：
1. You must mount the ZPlus-B191-OD into the bracket first.

bracket
2. You can use the 2” inch or 4” inch U bolts to mount on the pipe.
The two U bolts must tightly mount and take care not to over-tighten
3. After check the ZPlus-B191-OD is mount well, you can connect two cables, Waterproof
RJ-45 network cable and RF cable, and the grounding wire.
The waterproof RF cable must tightly onto the Wireless Outdoor Bridge and another
side that link to the Antenna better to have the lightening protector
4. The waterproof RJ-45 cable also had been tightly onto the Wireless Outdoor Bridge and
another side that be plugged into PoE device.

You can also mount the ZPlus-B191-OD on the wall to fit in your environment.
In the ZPlus-B191-OD indoor part installation, if the RJ-45 cable’s length is not enough for
you to link to your network device, you can extend the cable length, but you need to careful
the maximum length of the RJ-45 cable is 100M.
When you plug the RJ-45 cable into the PoE device, you should use the normal RJ-45
cable to plug into the “DATA IN” to connect to hub/switch or use the crosslink Rj-45 cable to
connect to user’s PC.
Then the waterproof RJ-45 cable must connect to the “P+DATA OUT” port.
Note:
Please careful not to plug inversely the two cables. This way maybe damages
the devices!
