The mechanical support allows adjustment of + 20 degrees to accommodate a pole that is tapered or offset from the vertical or horizontal mounting plane.Note: Please read all instructions prior to installation.
4318527-A Rev 01DRAFT March 24th-2005Verifying the package contents1Verify the contents of the Wireless AP 7220 and mechanical support packages. For a detailed list of standard package contents and available accessories see Appendix A, “Wireless AP 7220 materials checklist”.Recording the serial number2Record the serial number and the installation location of the Wireless AP 7220. These records are required for subsequent network management and maintenance.Installing the mechanical support3Select the location for the Wireless AP 7220 and unpack the mounting hardware kit.4Remove the cylindrical housing of the mechanical support by loosening the two set screws and sliding the cylindrical housing away from the base plate adaptor.You can install the mechanical support on:• a pole (horizontal or vertical). To install the mechanical support on a pole, go to the section “Installing the mechanical support on a pole• a wall or ceiling. To install the mechanical support on a wall or ceiling, go to the section “Installing the mechanical support on a wall or ceiling.Installing the mechanical support on a pole5Fasten the base plate adaptor to the pole by inserting the three band clamps through the slotted openings and around the pole. Mount the base plate adaptor to the pole with the U-bracket opening towards the pole.6Adjust and tighten the base plate adaptor securely to the pole by tightening the band clamps such that no movement is possible.Note: To facilitate installation, installers may remove the base plate adaptor from the mount by removing the four adjustment screws located on the base plate U-bracket.
5Installing the Nortel Wireless Access Point 7220DRAFT March 24th-2005The mount is now securely fastened to the pole. To continue the installation, go to the section “Preparing the Wireless AP 7220Installing the mechanical support on a wall or ceilingThe base plate adaptor is reversible for wall and ceiling installations.7Remove the four adjustment screws on the base plate adaptor and secure the flat side of the adaptor on the mounting surface (wall or ceiling) using appropriate anchors to support the weight and wind loads.8Re-attach the inner arm on the installed base plate adaptor using the four adjustment screws removed previously.The mount is now securely fastened to the wall/ceiling. To continue the installation, go to the section “Preparing the Wireless AP 7220Preparing the Wireless AP 7220On the ground, install the Wireless AP 7220 on the cylindrical mount (vertical or horizontal) via the ¾ NPT opening.9Loosen (back off) the NPT anti-rotation set screw.10 Remove the appropriate ¾ NPT plastic plugs from the mount.If you are installing a Wireless AP 7220@NAP, proceed to the section “Connecting an Ethernet cable to a Wireless AP 7220 @ NAP.If you are installing a standalone Wireless AP 7220, skip to the section “Completing the Wireless AP 7220 preparationConnecting an Ethernet cable to a Wireless AP 7220 @ NAP11 Remove the baseplate cover of the Wireless AP 7220 @ NAP cabling compartment by pivoting open the three tabs holding the cover in place.

Figure 4 Remove Ethernet port protective cover13 Pull back the unattached end of the AC power cable from the central support pipe until it is free of the shaft. This will make it easier to feed the Ethernet cable up through the support pipe. 14 Slide the non-connectorized end of the CAT 5 Ethernet cable up through the main support pipe of the Wireless AP 7220 @ NAP and out of the side hole of the cylindrical arm. This cable will be used to provide a wired connection to the NAP.Note: Do not disconnect the AC power connector from the Wireless AP 7220 @ NAP.Note: The CAT5 cable has a connector at one end. This connector attaches to the Ethernet jack at the base of the Wireless AP 7220 @ NAP unit.Ethernet port cover

8318527-A Rev 01DRAFT March 24th-2005Connecting the power cableTo facilitate the next steps, hang the Wireless AP 7220 and attached cylindrical arm from the base plate adaptor. Small holes are provided on the inner arm and arm housing for an "S" hook to support the Wireless AP 7220 assembly.20 Install an electrical switch, fuse, or circuit breaker at an accessible point between the power mains and the Wireless AP 7220 to facilitate power cut-off to the Wireless AP 7220 for maintenance purposes.21 Access the base plate adaptor on the pole. With electrical power removed, pre-wire the inner arm AC power using an approved water tight feed through on the base of the mount and connect the individual line and neutral conductors to the terminal strip provided on the inner wiring arm.22 Connect the GND wire from the AC power feed to a #10 ring terminal (see Figure 6). Attach the ring terminal to the GND stud on the inner wiring arm and secure with the external tooth lock washers and 10-32 nut provided. (the lock washers are installed each side of the ring terminal). Danger: The external power cable connects to the source which will power the Wireless AP 7220. Ensure that no power is coming through this cable when performing the procedure.Note: For Wireless AP 7220@ NAP installations, pass the Ethernet feed from the Wireless AP 7220 along the side of the inner arm opposite the wiring connections, and exit at the base of the support through an approved water tight feed through The purpose of the inner arm / divider is to separate the AC wiring from the Ethernet communication feedNote: The GND stud is pre-wired to the GND on the terminal strip via a short lead.
