Antenna Connector

The two large cellular antennas are connected to the router using the standard SMA antenna
connectors on the front panel. The main cellular antenna connection is labeled ANT. The
router cannot operate without a main antenna. The receive diversity antenna connection is
labeled DIV. This antenna improves the receive sensitivity of the router and should be used
in areas with weak signal strength.
On SPECTRE Cellular routers with Wi-Fi, a third antenna is connected to the AUX antenna
connector on the front panel.
The AUX connector on the Wi-Fi units is a reverse-polarity SMA connector and should
only be used with the smaller Wi-Fi antenna. Do not attempt to connect the cellular
antennas to this connector as it can damage the connector and the antennas.
Example of antenna:
