Weatherproofing RJ45 Connection
The following steps explain how to weatherproof the RJ45 connection:

1. Use an outdoor-rated CAT5e/CAT6 cable with a straight-through terminated on both ends.
2. Insert the CAT5e/CAT6 cable through the Sealing Nut (D) and install the Compression Washer (C) to the cable. Compression Washer (C) has a slit in the middle for quick installation onto the cable.
3. Install the parts (D) and (C) in the direction as shown in Figure 2.
4. Insert the Flat Washer (A) onto the Connector Body (B) and then insert the CAT5e/CAT6 cable through the Connector Body (B).
5. Connect the cable end of the RJ45 connector to the Ethernet port of the device
6. Make sure that the locking latch of the RJ45 Connector is properly inserted into the Ethernet port.
7. Fasten the Connector Body Assembly to the Device Ethernet port hole and fully tighten it.
8. Slide and Insert the Compression Washer (C) into the Connector Body Assembly.
9. Fasten the Sealing Nut (D) to the Connector Body Assembly and fully tighten it to weatherproof the cable.

Additional Weatherproofing Steps
To add layer of protection to connectors against the environment, do the following:

1. Wrap vinyl tape in a half-lapped fashion, from the weatherproof connector end and continue wrapping down 3 inches onto the CAT5e/CAT6 cable.
2. Next, wrap a layer of the butyl mastic tape over the adhesive side of the tape, covering all ofthe tape and connector.
3. Wrap a final layer of vinyl tape over the butyl layer and cover the entire tape assembly.
4. Place a small zip tie over the last wrap of tape to prevent it from unwrapping over time.
   For a detailed explanation of RJ45 connectors and RP-SMA connections weatherproofing, refer to Stratum TM X5 Series Hardware Installation Guide at http://support.proxim.com.

Assemble the Mounting Hardware

1. Fix the Mounting Plate (A) onto the bottom of the device using the provided screws and washers such that the antennas will be vertically and horizontally polarized when mounted; also, it is recommended to partially fasten the screws with washers into all the mounting holes, before final tightening of each screw. Torque the screws to 75 Lbf-in (86 Kgf-cm)
2. Fix the Extension Arm (B) to the fixed Mounting Plate (A) with the provided bolt, nut, and washers. The Extension Arm (B) gives the device more possible tilt, letting you adjust for azimuth or elevation over a larger angle.

Mount the Device

1. To pole-mount the device, insert the provided bolts through Bracket (D), mate with Bracket (C) around the pole, and secure with supplied washers torquing to 100 Lbf-in (115 Kgf-cm). The supplied screws (Hex. Cap 5/16” x 4” long) are designed for pole diameters from 32 to 89 mm (1.25 to 3.5 inches).
2. Fix the fixed Extension Arm (B) to the Mounting Bracket (C) with the provided bolt, nut, and washers. Partially tighten the joints J1 and J2 to allow for alignment of the device.
3. Once satisfied with the alignment, tighten the assembled parts by applying torque 130 Lbf-in (150 Kgf-cm).
4. While installing the device, make sure that the device Ethernet Port-1 with cable installation (using cable gland) faces downward only as shown in Figure 5 below:
5. To wall-mount the device, mount the bracket (C) to a wall by using 4 screws (not supplied), as shown figure below shown:

Plug in the Cables
Note: Unscrew the sealing cap port cover for installation of cables.

1. Plug one end of the straight-through Cat5e/CAT6 cable into the Ethernet Port-1 of the device by following the Weatherproofing steps explained under section Weatherproofing RJ45 Connections. Connect the other end of the cable to the OUT / PoE port on the PoE Injector.
2. Plugging in the second Cat5e/CAT6 cable to the Ethernet Port-2 is optional. Note: 56V DC (30 W maximum) is available on the Ethernet Port -2; hence, ensure that the connected device is rated to use the above voltage and maximum power.
   • When PoE IN receives 56V DC, PoE OUT delivers the same voltage, i.e., 56V DC.
   • By default, the Ethernet Port- 2 is for Data only; however, it is possible to enable the PoE OUT and Data feature through Web configuration. Please make sure to disconnect the Ethernet Port -2 cable from the PC before enabling this feature
3. To connect the device through a hub or a switch to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the Personal Computer and the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 IN / LAN port on the PoE Injector.
4. To connect the device directly to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the Personal Computer and the RJ45 IN / LAN port on the PoE Injector.
5. The PoE Power injector is a Gigabit Ethernet port and can supply up to 60 Watts.
   Note: Optional 2.5/5 Gbps 802.3bt PoE injector is available (Part Number: 949-00147), place an order separately with your distributor.

Install Surge Protector

StratumTM X5 Series comes with built-in Ethernet surge protection; however, it is mandatory to install an approved lightning surge protector at the building ingress point. Moreover, if you are installing the device in a region subjected to violent thunderstorms or severe weather conditions, then installation of an additional approved lightning surge protector near the device is recommended.

Note : To buy an additional Surge Protector (Part Number: 235-  00001), place an order separately with your distributor
Perform the following steps to ensure proper surge protection

1. Mount a surge protector near the building ingress and use 10AWG or larger wire to connect the surge protector’s lug to the earth’s ground.

2. The outdoor device and co-located surge protector should have a common grounding point using the shortest possible grounding cable.
   Note: Use Outdoor-rated, UV-protected, shielded CAT5e/CAT6 cable for the following.

3. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the indoor equipment and the port on the surge protector at the building ingress

4. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the surge protector and the outdoor device on Ethernet Port-1.
   IMPORTANT: Ensure to loop the cable before entering the premises to prevent water ingress.

Ground the Device

To ensure proper grounding, attach a ground wire of at least 12 AWG stranded to the device at either of the ground points which are located at the bottom corners of the device and use the grounding screw provided. It is important to follow the grounding guidelines below to protect the device against lighting or ESD events:

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device and the other end to the closest earth-ground point at the installation site.
2. Remove any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground.
3. Avoid sharp bends, loops or coiling the ground wire, always connect it straight to the ground.
4. A proper earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the surge protector ground wire is connected and not at the grounding rod.
6. Connect the surge protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecom ground) to a single common ground.
7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and tight.
8. Never install a link during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.

Power on the Device
After connecting the PoE Injector and the device using a straight-through CAT5e/CAT6 cable plug the power cord into a power outlet. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. To power down the unit, unplug the RJ45 connector from the OUT / POE port on the PoE injector.
