Mounting
The mANTbox 12s comes with a QuickMount adapter that can be attached to a wall using the included screws, or attached to
a pole, using the included metal mounting ring. The QuickMount allows the device to be adjusted horizontally and vertically.
The mANTbox 12s comes with metal pole brackets, that clamp around metal poles. More detailed instructions for assembly
are available on http://routerboard.com
Please avoid connecting a loose Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port - secure the cable to a wall or the pole, so that the cable
weight is not pulling the port. It is recommended to secure the Ethernet cable less than 2m from the device. This is to ensure
that the cable doesn't damage the port by its weight, or doesn't fall out.
It is possible to connect a grounding wire to the device, by opening the lid, a grounding screw is provided there.
