Install the Optional Remote Antenna Mount on the Ceiling
Use an optional Remote Antenna Mount for one or both AP300 radios to remotely connect the AP300
antennas. The 3*3 SMA Antenna Stand allows you to relocate either your current antennas or the Meru's
High Gain Dipole Antennas to a location with clearer signal paths to the other devices in your wireless
network. The Remote Antenna Mount can be placed either below the ceiling tile or on the wall. The
default orientation for the Mount is suitable for a ceiling mount, but you can attach the Mount to a
wall with some modifications.
Use one mount per radio; for example AP310 needs one unit, and AP320 needs two units.The Antenna
Mount uses low-loss Plenum rated LMR195 cable and SMA connectors.
