The CN3200 Modem is a 2x4 MIMO device with four antenna connectors — two Tx/Rx and two Rx-only. All connectors are always used. Omni, Panel and Sector antenna configurations are supported. For optimum performance, the CN3200 Modem should be placed as close as possible to the antennas.
This is a typical tower-mounted CN3200 Modem installation with a 2x4 MIMO Panel Antenna. xMax ANTENNA 2.4 GHz ANTENNA IMPORTANT Install the provided six (6) ferrite beads as shown by this marker in the wiring diagram. Tx/Rx Tx/Rx PoE++ 110-240 VAC,...
NOTE xG Technology recommends that the CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem be configured on a bench before installing the device in the field. Please refer to the topic Configuring the CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem on page 13. This checklist may assist you in assembling the parts needed to complete the installation.

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...
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.
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...

Securely tighten all mounting bolts. Complete the remaining installation steps required to connect these components to the power supply and xMax network, as described in the topic Installation Procedure starting on page 31. CN3200 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 3.3...
These steps outline the basic tasks required to prepare for a successful installation of the CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem using the two provided panel antennas. These initial steps prepare the CN3200 for placement in a service location. 1. Locate the supplied mounting bracket and secure the CN3200 Modem to the bracket with four (4) hex-head screws, as shown.
2.4 GHz Panel Antenna Locate the supplied 2.4 GHz Panel Antenna and 24 inch cable. The CN3200 Modem / xMax Panel Antenna array is now prepared for installation. CN3200 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 3.3...
10. Attach the supplied weatherproof Ethernet connector onto the CN3200 end of the data cable. 11. Attach two of the supplied ferrite cores to the CN3200 end of the Ethernet cable, as shown in the wiring diagram in the topic Antenna Configuration on page 18.
