Mounting the Antenna
6.
Secure the coaxial cable along the mast or pole using tape or cable ties.
7.
If installing one antenna, attach the connector to the AP unit's primary antenna connection. If
installing a diversity system, attach the leads from the two antennas to the AP unit's primary
and secondary jacks.
Mounting Antenna Model WS-AI-2S03360
The WS-AI-2S03360 antennas are ceiling-mounted omni-directional panel radiators used for
interior RF-distribution systems. The unique umbrella-shaped radiation pattern tilts downward
and spreads out to provide uniform coverage to all parts of a room or interior space.

For best results, mount this antenna at ceiling level near the center of the coverage area. A line-of-
sight path between the radome and active floor locations generally works best. Although signals
in the 2.4 GHz region penetrate cubical dividers and interior walls with little attenuation,
reinforced block walls, banks of metal cabinets, or steel shelving may attenuate signals or cause
multipath, a condition where reflected signals interfere with the primary signal path. Avoid
mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone of
reduced coverage to one portion of the room.

Note: For exterior installation, always orient the antenna upright to prevent water from entering
weep holes at the base and damaging internal components.
