    Before beginning the installation steps, the installer should carefully read all of the work orders, blueprints, plans, datasheets, and site drawings to determine work to be done, and then plan out the deployment. CN3200 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 3.3...
  • Page 23: Antenna Cabling Identification

    When installing multiple CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem devices at a site, color code each sector. Use colored weatherproof tape on each end of each Ethernet cable run, and then record the azimuth and tilt of each sector. Refer to the example shown.
  • Page 24: Antenna Orientation Overview

    Downward tilt (downtilt) is most common. Inclination up, called uptilt, is very rare and only used in extreme cases. Antenna tilt is typically adjusted to zero degrees. The site installation plan indicates any deviation from the normal zero inclination for each antenna. CN3200 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 3.3...
