Antenna Mast Requirements

To accommodate the outdoor antennas, the antenna mast must satisfy the following requirements:

nThe construction of the mast must be of a sturdy, weatherproof and no corrosive material like examples of galvanized or stainless steel construction pipe.

nTypical diameter of the mast should be between 35 mm (1.4 in.) and 41 mm (1.625 in.). Subjecting to the type of antenna that you intend to install other diameters may be possible as well.

nThe height of the antenna mast must be sufficient to allow the antenna to be installed at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) above the peak of roof. If the roof is metal, then the height of the antenna should be a minimum of 3 m (10 ft) above the roof.

nThe mast or wall-bracket must be free from any substance that may avoid a good electrical connection with the antenna; for example, paint.

Antenna Alignment

For optimal performance of your wireless link, make sure that the antennas are properly aligned (facing one another “eye-to-eye”). To align the antennas:

nUse a pair of binoculars and/or a map of the area and compass to point the antennas to one another.

nUse the Utility - “Wireless Link Info” in the Web Configure as described in the “Utility” section to analyze the radio link quality. The “Wireless Link Info” will enable you to display the levels of signal strength and link quality. Looking at the Wireless Link Info screen, you can interactively optimize antenna alignment if required, by making small modifications in the antenna orientation.

nAlternatively, consult a professional Antenna Installation Service to optimize the antenna alignment.

nOmni-directional antennas are characterized by a wide radiation pattern. Therefore alignment of this type of antennas is less critical

than for directional antennas.
