Learn how to safely ground the
access point using the grounding hardware.
Before you begin
Note
The ground connection procedure
is applicable only for AP460C, AP460S6C, and AP460S12C
outdoor access points.
The following hardware is required for ground connection:
An access point
One M4 ground screw
One star washer
One ground terminal
One ground wire
Note
The installer must provide the
ground wire.
About this task
When you install the access point on an outdoor environment,
you must provide protective grounding to prevent the access point from damages and
failures.
Procedure
Strip the insulation off one end
of the ground wire and attach the stripped wire to the ring terminal.
Note
The best practice is to use
a 10 AWG electrical wire.
Attach the ground wire ring
terminal to the access point using the M4 ground screw assembly with the star
washer.
Note
The star washer must be in
contact with both the ring terminal and the access point.
