UAP Moun ng Bracket 4 M5x10 Moun ng screws 6 Connect Cat6A cables to UAP ports. 7 If grounding is required attach an appropriate ground wire to the green grounding screw of the UAP. Grounding is not mandatory. UAPs are classified as low-voltage devices and do not have internal power supplies.
Installing UAPs 8 Align the UAP bracket and wall bracket. The UAP with UAP bracket attached must be placed above the wall bracket as shown below. UAP connected to a Moun ng Bracket Wall Bracket 9 Slide the UAP downward until you hear it click and lock into place in the Wall Bracket. To ensure that the UAP is securely and safely installed, the wall bracket must be mounted with the top of the bracket facing upward. Do not install the bracket on its side or facing downward.
Installing UAPs UAP, UAP-N25, and UAP-X Cable Requirements Cat6A cable is required for all connections between an CAT card and a UAP and for the jumpers between UAPs in cascade mode. The following cabling rules must be observed; see also Figure 6-2. • Plenum rated cable must be used wherever it is required by local electrical codes. • The minimum Cat6A cable wire size required for use with UAPs is 23 AWG (minimum EIA/TIA standards).
Installing UAPs Cascading a UAP, UAP-X, or UAP-N25 Two UAPs can be operated in cascade mode to provide LTE MIMO coverage or to support additional bands, as shown in Figure 6-3. To cascade UAPs, connect a CAT6A cable from the AUX port of the primary UAP (A) to the MAIN port of the secondary UAP (B). The AUX port of the secondary (B) UAP is not used in cascade mode.

Installing CAP Ls Mounting Cautions Attach all CAP Ls securely to a stationary object as described in this installation guide. Do not mount a passive-cooled CAP L (that is, does not have a Fan Kit) in a wall-mounted orientation with the fins running horizontally; this results in a reduced maximum operating temperature of 35°C (95°F). Only a CAP L with a Fan Kit can be ceiling mounted. A CAP L without a Fan Kit cannot be ceiling mounted due to thermal constraints when the fins are pointed downward.
Installing CAP Ls Unpack and Inspect the CAP L and Optional Accessories 1 Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the components in the container. 2 Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip. 3 If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope Technical Support (see "Contacting DCCS Global Technical Support” on page 126).
Installing CAP Ls Flat-Surface Mount a CAP L You can place a CAP L, without its fastening hardware, on a flat surface, such as a shelf, desk, cabinet, or any other horizontal surface that allows stable placement. The surface must be able to bear the weight of the CAP L; see Table 7-5 on page 90. If you mount the CAP L on a flat surface, follow the rules listed below. Always mount the CAP L with the face containing the mounting holes against the mounting surface.
Installing CAP Ls 5 Attach the two mounting brackets to the back of the CAP L enclosure. a Use three of the M6-1.0 x 14mm screws (PN 100901-50) that came with the Flat Mounting Bracket Kit to attach the left or top mounting bracket to the three corresponding horizontal or vertical M6-1.0 mounting taps on the back of the CAP L chassis. b Use three of the M6-1.
