To install an outdoor omni-directional external antenna, follow these

of the building with lag bolts or other appropriate hardware as
shown in the illustration, "Installing the outdoor omni-
directional external antenna."
2. Feed one end of the co-axial cable up through the bottom of the
antenna shroud and attach the BNC connector to the base of the
mast.
3. Slide the mast down into the shroud until it fits.
4. Rotate the mast until the threaded hole in the base of the mast is
aligned with the set screw hole in the shroud, and then tighten the
set screw.
5. Route the co-axial cable along the bottom edge of the plate
between the shroud and the wall plate and tie the cable up.
Note: The total length of the co-axial cables from the outdoor
external antenna to the Base Station must not exceed
