Mounting The Access Point - Cisco Aironet 1300 Serie Instructions De Montage

Mounting the Access Point

A lightning arrestor is a 50-ohm transmission line with a gas discharge tube positioned between the
center conductor and ground. This gas discharge tube changes from an open circuit to a short circuit
almost instantly (100 nanoseconds) in the presence of voltage and energy surges, providing a path to
ground for the energy surge.
A lightning arrestor should be installed between your outdoor antenna and the access point. You should
connect a 6 AWG copper wire from the arrestor to a good earth ground.
