Preparing for installation
This chapter describes how to prepare for the installation of the AP, including the preparation of tools and
installation site survey.
Preparing installation tools
When installing the AP, you may need the tools listed in Table 4 . Choose the appropriate tools according
to the installation environment.
Table 4 List of installation tools
Type of tools Tools
General tools Digging tools, adjustable wrench, pliers, Phillips screwdriver
Special tools
Cable stripper, crimping pliers, RJ-45 crimping pliers, waterproof sealing tape, fiber
fusion splicer
Auxiliary tools Ladder
Examining the installation site
Before installation, examine the installation site to make sure that the AP will work in a good environment.
You can examine the installation site from the following two aspects.
Installation site selection
Keep the AP away from high temperature, dust, harmful gases, inflammables, explosive substances,
electromagnetic interference sources (heavy-duty radars, radio stations, or electrical substations),
unstable voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. The installation site should be dry, without any leakage,
dripping, or dew. The AP should be at least 500 m (0.31 miles) away from the seaside and should not
face the direction of sea wind.
In engineering design, the site should be selected according to the network planning and technical
requirements of the communications equipment, and the considerations such as climate, hydrology,
geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.
