  • Page 11: Placement And Other Important Considerations

    Ideally, it should be located outside an IT data center or outside a room with multiple metal partitions. Use a NETGEAR antenna cable of up to 10 m length to connect the antenna to the wireless access point/router. In some situations one ANT2409 is sufficient because the multipath fading is low or acceptable and/or the client adapter wireless node provide spatial diversity.
  • Page 12 The best performance is achieved with a short cable between the antenna and the wireless device. The shortest approved cable to be used in conjunction with the ANT2409 in North America is the NETGEAR 1.5 m (ACC-10314-01) cable. • The antenna should be installed so that it is a minimum of 30 cm (12 inches) away from people.
  • Page 13: Installing The 9 Dbi Omni-Directional Antenna

    Installing the 9 dBi Omni-directional Antenna There are two parts to the wireless antenna installation process: • Assemble the wireless antenna for pole mount installation or flat surface mount installation. • Connect the appropriate electrical hardware depending on if the installation is indoors or outdoors.
  • Page 14: First, Assemble And Mount The Antenna

    Note: Use the correct cable. • Outdoors: use the provided 2m antenna cable. • Indoors: use the provided N/SMA adapter with a Netgear ACC-10314-01, 02, 03, 04 or 05 (sold separately). For indoors, d provided 2m cable. Step 2 Securely attach the antenna cable by screwing it onto the antenna.
  • Page 15: Now, Connect The Antenna

    Now, Connect the Antenna The instructions below cover outdoor and indoor installations. Connecting the Antenna for and Outdoor Installation Turn off your wireless unit. In the procedure “First, Assemble and Mount the Antenna” on page have been assembled for outdoor installation using the provided 2-meter cable. Connect the other side of the cable to the lighting arrestor as shown here.
  • Page 16 Locate the primary detachable antenna on the wireless access point. Remove the antenna and connect the other end of the NETGEAR cable ACC-10314-01, 02, 03, 04 or 05 to this port. NOTE: On access points with two antennas, if you are only replacing one antenna, be sure to replace the primary antenna and do not remove the secondary antenna.
  • Page 17: Connecting The Antenna For An Indoor Installation

    In the procedure “First, Assemble and Mount the Antenna” on page have been assembled for indoor installation using a NETGEAR cable ACC-10314-01, 02, 03, 04 or 05 and the reverse N/SMA adaptor connected to the antenna. The provided 2m cable should not have been used.
