Page 13: Installing And Aligning The Outdoor Units
Installing and Aligning the External Antennas To ensure maximum performance and stability of your wireless connection, it is crucial that you determine the right locations for the external antennas based on the following two criteria: 1. Establish a good signal path, ideally with visual line of sight, between the two end points. - Page 14 2. Align the external antenna horizontally. Loosen the pole mounting clamps just enough to visually aim the external antenna at the remote end point. Set the appropriate horizontal angle and tighten the pole mounting clamps so that the angle is locked in place. 3.
- Page 15 4. Set the appropriate elevation angle and tighten the bolts so that the angle is locked in place. The bracket design allows for up to 20 tilt of the antenna. ° 5. Secure both the cable between the external antenna and the outdoor unit, and the Category 5E cable between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit to the mast using UV-rated tie-wraps (4 are included).
