a chassis‐mounted female N connector. The antenna includes tower mount brackets
with adjustable down‐tilt.
Installing an AP typically consists of four phases:
1
. Configure the AP at an operator's facility or at the installation site using the

2. Assemble the AP (radio, ante
Procedure 2. A CMM4 is typically installed at the same time, if not previously
installed.
3. Cable the AP to the CMM4 and ground it to Protective Earth – PE using Procedure
4. This phase can also include cabling to backhauls, or running terrestrial feeds.
5. Confirm operation, using SMs in the field.
Local practices and choices of installation options will dictate the actual processes. For
