Mounting the Access Point
Step 6
Connect the cables to the access point (or lowest grounding block on the tower). The cables should slope
downward so that moisture runs away from the connectors during rainstorms. If necessary, form drip
loops near the connectors.

Mast Mount
Mounting the access point on a tall mast makes antenna positioning difficult because you cannot view
the access point LEDs or adjust the antenna vertically. If possible, use a mast short enough so that you
can reach the access point from a step ladder or other support. Otherwise, you may need to take down
the mast to adjust the antenna position.
