  • Page 27: Installation

    If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install.

  • Page 28: Installation Requirements

    Antenna installation and replacement should only be performed at one of the following, certified location types:  Utility maintenance and repair depot  Cisco DF facility...

  • Page 29: Antenna Connections

     Customer premises field depot Before installing your antenna, determine the optimum location for safety and performance. Follow these steps to determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees: Measure the height of your antenna. Add this length to the length of your tower or mast, then double this total for the minimum safe clearance distance from wires, power lines, and trees.
  • Page 30 Microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the WiFi radio to which one of the antennas is connected.  For instructions on installing or replacing a Cisco Connected Grid module, see the corresponding installation and configuration guide for each module. ...

  • Page 31: Antenna Ports

    Caution: Any Connected Grid antenna can be installed in any of the router antenna ports, however, Cisco recommends that antennas be installed in the locations recommended in the Cisco Connected Grid Antennas Installation Guide. Doing so ensures correct antenna cable management, ease of installation, and optimal antenna performance.

  • Page 34 Figure 4 N-Connector Installed in Unused Antenna Port Lightning arrestor N-connector: torque to 6 to 7 ft-lbs Plug: torque to 6 to 7 ft-lbs Ports must have either an antenna, connector, or plug installed. Connecting the Antenna to the CGR 1120 Secure the coaxial end of the end-to-end RF antenna cable to the antenna ports of your CGR 1120 router.
  • Page 35 Figure 5 Insert Base of Antenna into Router Antenna Port WiFi antenna connector GPS antenna connector Connect the Antenna-to-Module Cable in the CGR 1240 The antenna-to-module coaxial antenna cable (MCX to QMA connectors) is shipped with your antenna. It is used as the interface between the external cable connection to the installed module.
  • Page 36 Antenna and CG Module Color Codes The antennas and the Cisco Connected Grid modules are color coded to help you correctly connect the antenna cables to the CGR modules installed in the router. The antenna cable has a color at the connector end that corresponds with colored antenna cable port(s) on the supported CGR module.
  • Page 37 Note: The lightning arrestor is not required for indoor antennas. Cisco lightning arrestors provide a level of safety protection to the installer as well as to wireless equipment by shunting to ground over-voltage transients induced into outdoor antennas and cables. These transients, in mild cases can produce interfering signals in a wireless system, and in extreme cases, can be dangerous and destructive.
  • Page 38 Cisco recommends that the lightning arrestor is bulkhead-mounted and is being directly attached to a well-grounded bracket or well-grounded panel through the threaded shaft of the arrestor and the supplied nut. If this is not possible, then the next best option is to use the ground lug provided with the kit.
