Install the ION 1200
STEP 1 | Secure the antennas to the SMA connectors located at the corners of the device.
Rotate the antennas at 180-degree movement about the SMA connectors. Tighten the
antennas by hand.
STEP 2 | Adjust the antenna orientation to receive optimal signal strength in your environment.
It is recommended to conduct a cellular location assessment of the site to receive best
signal strength before installing the ION device.
Position the antennas to receive optimal cellular signal strength. Check the signal strength
on the ION device by viewing the
WAN web interface.
Do not place the antennas close to, or pointing to one another, or layover one another.
Make sure the power cables do not cross over the antennas to avoid signal quality
distortion and antenna performance degradation.
When installing the ION on a wall or a desktop, it is recommended to orient the
antennas upright and slanted slightly outwards, not exceeding 45 degrees, to improve
the signal quality.
