Tabulated below are the recommended optional accessories, that are supplied on request from Proxim Wireless Corporation.

2.2.4 Installation Procedure

Perform the following steps to install and mount the device.

2.2.4.1 Step 1: Install the Antennas

The omni-directional antennas supplied with the product do not require any professional installation. Only, the regular
outdoor antennas connected via a pigtail conversion cable, offering a standard connector type for antenna connection,
require a professional installation.
: Optionally, you can use the Range Extended Antenna (REA), which has 3 x RP SMA plug, that can be easily connected
to the device.
Perform the following steps to assemble the antennas:
1. Hand-tighten the antennas clockwise, onto the external connectors of the device until they are attached firmly.
2. Position the antennas close to the horizontal surface (ceiling or wall), so as to get the maximum signal coverage of the
omni-directional antenna.

2.2.4.2 Step 2: Mount the Device

Consider the following precautions, before mounting the device:
•
The device must be protected from exposure, and the environmental conditions must be within those specified in the
product datasheet, that can be found at http://support.proxim.com.
•
Ensure to use a +5V/3.5 A power adapter, to power on the device.
:
• Note that the device is build with fire retardant ATX200 resin and can be installed in the plenum. In an office building,
plenum is the space between the structural ceiling and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air circulate. Many
companies also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. These products and cables must
comply with certain safety requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) and Standard 2043: "Standards for Fire Test for
Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Direct Products and Their Accessories installed in Air-Handling Spaces".
• When installed in a plenum, the device must use PoE.
