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.
