Mounting the Vehicle-Mount Antenna

The vehicle-mount antenna is typically connected to a client in a wireless infrastructure network. The antenna is mounted to a moving vehicle, such as a fork-lift.

1.Drill a hole in the top of the vehicle so that the antenna connector (at the bottom of the antenna as shown in Figure 3-6) but not the base fits through the hole. You can also provide and use a bracket to install the antenna to the side of the vehicle.

2.Remove the plastic cap from the connector.

3.Screw the antenna to the top of the base. Finger-tighten only.

4.Install the antenna and base to the vehicle using the hardware provided, as shown in Figure 3-6. Make sure that the gasket is between the antenna base and the vehicle.

5.Use the RoamAbout pigtail connection to connect the antenna to the RoamAbout PC Card in the client.
