Mounting a Mobility 5181 Access Point
2
Ensure the cable length from the Ethernet source (host) to the Power Tap (or Power Injector) and
access point does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft). Neither the Power Tap or Power Injector has an
On/Off switch. Each receives power as soon as AC power is applied.
3. For Power Tap installations, have a certified electrician open the Power Tap enclosure, feed the
power cable through the unit’s LINE AC connector, secure the power cable to the unit’s three
screw termination block and tighten the unit’s LINE AC clamp (by hand) to ensure the power
cable cannot be pulled from the unit and is protected from the elements.
4. For Power Tap installations, attach a ground cable between the EARTH GROUND connector (on
the back of the unit) to a suitable earth ground connection as defined by your local electrical
code.
5. Verify all cable connections are complete before supplying power to the access point.
