Mount and Connect External Antennas
Physically mount detachable antennas in their desired location, preferably to the same supporting
structure as the Access Point, within 3 m (10 ft) distance, using the bracket supplied in the antenna.
Connect the antenna to the Access Point's N-type Female connector using the RF coaxial cable
provided with the antenna.
Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent water entering the
connectors.
When no antenna is connected to the N-Type interface, the waterproof interface boot should remain
installed to protect the interface from the elements.
Connect Electrical Ground Wire to the AP
Attach an electrical safety grounding wire to the electrical ground point on the access point.
Caution: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. For
additional lightning protection, use lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors.
