Procedure

  1. Attach the small bracket on the WS-MBO-ART01 to the pole bracket with four M4 screws, verifying that the AP orientation will be upright before you tighten the brackets screws. Torque the screws to 12 in-lbs.
  2. Insert two cable/pipe clamps into the pole bracket. Attach the clamps to the pole where desired. Torque the clamp screws to 12 in-lbs.
  3. Attach the AP to the large bracket with four M4 screws. Torque the screws to 12.0 in-lbs.
  4. If the AP needs to be tilted up or down, remove the screw (see red arrows in previous figure) and tilt the AP to the desired angle. Re-insert the screw into the center hole in the black part of WS-MBO-ART01. Torque the screw and nut to 12 in-lbs.
  5. If the AP needs to be turned sideways, remove the screw (see red arrows in previous figure) and tilt the AP to the desired angle. Re-insert the screw into the center hole in the black part of WS-MBO-ART01. Torque the screw and nut to 12 in-lbs.
  6. Remove the black gland cap and the gasket under it. Then separate the gasket from its plastic cage.
  7. Attach the gland parts to the LAN cables and insert the LAN cables into the mating connectors in the AP. For more information, see Attaching Antennas.
  8. Hand tighten the gland nuts and then tighten the nuts to a torque of 10 in-lbs.
  9. Dress (adjust) the LAN and ground wires.
