Page 22: Installing The Omnidirectional Antennas On Poles
Installing the omnidirectional antennas on poles CAUTION: • The diameter of the poles for omnidirectional antennas must be 50 mm to 70 mm (1.97 in to 2.76 in). Typically, poles are made of round steel bars 50 mm (1.97 in) in diameter. •... -
Page 23: Connecting Cables
Figure 17 Alternative method for installing an omnidirectional antenna NOTE: Figure 17, the antenna pole is not fixed on the cement pier. Instead, the antenna pole is fixed by welding two angle steel bars between the antenna pole and the lightning rod pole. Connecting cables This section describes how to connect the antenna cable, Ethernet cable, fiber cable, and power cord. -
Page 24: Connecting The Antenna Cables
When a fiber cable is used to transmit data, both ends of the cable must use appropriate SFP transceiver modules. The SFP transceiver modules provided by H3C meet the outdoor deployment requirements, use single mode fiber, and have a transmission distance of 15 km (9.32 mi). -
Page 25: Connecting The Ethernet Cable
If the AP is connected to the switch through a fiber cable, an SFP transceiver module and a liquid tight adapter are required at the AP side. See Figure Figure 19 Connecting the fiber cable to the fiber port of the AP To connect a fiber cable: Insert an SFP transceiver module into the fiber port of the AP. - Page 26 Figure 20 Connecting a copper cable Figure 21 Connecting a fiber cable...
