Connecting Ethernet Cable
1. Pull the Ethernet cable through the assembly shown on the picture (you
should have received the assembly together with the device).
2. Install an RJ45 connector on the Ethernet cable, and plug it in the
device.
3. Screw the A part on top of the Ethernet socket of the device.
4. Hand tighten the B part to seal the opening of the assembly.
Connecting External Antenna Cable (optional)
If the RouterBOARD was purchased with external antenna connector option, screw the connector of the antenna cable cable
on the appropriate antenna attachment of the case. Hand tighten the connector (do not use vice grips for this job). When
tying the coaxial cable, make sure no water can get into it and/or into the equipment it is attached to. It is very important to
seal the connection properly with a good rubber tape made particularly for this purpose (note that many general purpose
tapes will not prevent moisture to leak into connector, or will fail after some time). Note: do not bend the cable straight: you
should keep a radius of curvature allowing the cable to bend without applying force.
Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT: LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Contacting power lines may cause injury or death. Make sure that in no case may
equipment or personnel come in direct or indirect contact with power lines. All overhead wiring should be assumed to be
power lines. Ensure that the mast may not contact power lines even if it falls during or after installation. If a person comes in
contact with electricity and is not able to move, you MUST NOT touch that person to avoid the same fate! Instead, use a
known non-conductive stick or rope to pull him/her away from the electric line.
Respect safe procedures when working above the ground. Do not work alone: a friend or co-worker can save your life in case
of an accident.
Grounding
The installation infrastructure (towers and masts), as well as antennas and the device itself (there is a small screw with a
wing nut on the case with a sticker identifying chassis grounding), must be properly grounded, and lightning arrestors must
be installed on all external antenna cables (near the antennas or on the antennas themselves) to prevent equipment damage
and human injury. Note that lightning arrestors will not have any effect if not grounded. Note also that damages caused by
static electricity and lightning are not covered by warranty.
Use 1 AWG wire with corrosion-resistant connectors for grounding. Be sure to check that the grounding infrastructure you
use is indeed functional (as opposed to decorative-only grounding present on some sites).
