Figure 7 Connecting Antennae
1
Position the antenna so that there are minimal obstacles between it and any
client with which it will communicate. While maintaining a direct line of sight
between the antenna and a client is not strictly necessary, such an
arrangement helps to ensure a strong signal. Ensure that access is available
for routing the antenna cable from the antenna to the access point.
2
If they are installed, remove both standard detachable antennas.
3
Connect one end of the optional antenna cable to the antenna and secure
the antenna in place.
4
Connect the free end of the antenna cable to the connection on the access
point, as shown in the illustration above.
5
Make certain that the antennas and antenna masts are appropriately
grounded to prevent injury or damage from lightning strikes. Proper
grounding for outdoor installations may require the purchase of a third-party
lightning arrestor.
