Choosing a Location

To ensure the optimal performance select the locations for the equipment using the following
guidelines:
The antenna (not-integrated on the front panel of the outdoor unit) should

provide a direct, or near line of sight, with the sector location that need to be
covered.
The antenna should be aligned to face the CPEs that aim to be in service, higher

the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality (but not in all
cases).
Average rooftop (depend on the topology of the location) should be

The location of the outdoor unit should enable easy access to the unit for

installation and testing
Avoid installations in locations that devices operating in the same frequency

range
The outdoor unit should be installed at the highest point of a metal pole that

there will be no interference caused by RF reflections. If this is not possible, it
should be installed at least 3 meters from the metal pole.
It is recommended to use maximum distance possible from an RF radiating

source.
Preparing the Site
1. Follow the appropriate electrical and building codes to ensure safe and
durable wiring.
2. Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, unless local codes in
your area take precedence over the NEC code
3. The length of the indoor-to-outdoor Ethernet cable should not exceed 90
meters. The length of the Ethernet cable connecting the indoor unit to the
user's equipment, together with the length of the Indoor-to-Outdoor cable,
should not exceed 40 meters.
4. An appropriate ground cable should be available. Connect a grounding cable
between the Ground terminal of the outdoor unit and a good ground
connection.
Please refer to standards for building entrance protection.
