Antenna Installation - Cisco 4G-ANTM-OM-CM Manual

Cisco Outdoor Omni Antenna for 900 MHz WPAN (ANT-WPAN-OM-OUT-N)
— Do not work on a wet or windy day.
— Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are
all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an
electrical path through the antenna and the installer.

If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call
your local power company to have it removed safely.

If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

Antenna Installation

The antenna installation includes the following procedures:

Tools and Equipment Required

Attaching the Mounting Bracket
Tools and Equipment Required
In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router:

A #2 Phillips screwdriver

A hose clamp (shipped with your antenna)

3/4 in. open-end wrench
NOTE: This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other structure you
intend to mount your antenna on.
Attaching the Mounting Bracket
The antenna is provided with a mounting kit consisting of a mounting bracket and hose clamp. This kit allows you to mount the
antenna to masts from 1.25 inches (3.2 centimeters) to 2 inches (5.1 cm). Cisco recommends that a 1.5 inch (3.8 centimeter)
or larger tubing mast be used.
The antenna is vertically polarized. Since the antenna has vertical gain, it is very important to mount the antenna in a vertical
(not leaning) position for optimal performance.
Follow these steps to mount the antenna onto a mast:
1. Place the connector end of the antenna through the hole in the antenna bracket.
