3.6.4 WWAN Antenna Connection (Cell connector)

The OA5710V router has three connectors for 3G antennas. To assemble and disassemble the antennas, simply
screw them into the connectors labeled Cell (located on the front panel of the router).
Installing these antennas in the OA5710V router helps improve the quality of the signal received and transmitted by
the cellular model.
For the Wireless WAN interface to operate, the device must have a plug-in wireless WAN card and the correspond-
ing software license. If your device does not have an integrated wireless WAN module, you can add it on later on.
The manual provided will show you how to install the module and the corresponding antenna cables in the device.
Note
To obtain optimum performance, the router should always have the WWAN antennas installed.
So the cellular interface is operative, the router must have the corresponding software license incorpor-
ated.
Some cellular telephony technologies use the antenna diversity technique to improve the quality of the received sig-
nal (HSUPA, CDMA EV-DO, etc.). The OA5710V router therefore incorporates several WWAN connectors.

When the Main and Aux 1 antennas are not directly connected to the router, but installed through extension cords,
the minimum distance between the two must be 7 cm. The maximum recommended distance between them is 25
cm.
To achieve optimum performance, the radio frequency accessories installed (antennas and cables) should be those
recommended by us.
We have a series of accessories (90º mount antennas, antennas for exterior installation, antennas ceiling installation,
extension cables, etc.) that allow you to install the devices in different locations.
3.6.4.1 Placing the Antenna
The orientation of the antenna and its location with respect to other wireless devices or other radiation sources (such
as communication devices, personal computers, etc.) can influence device performance.
