Installing the Antenna

Connecting the Antenna Cable

5.Prior to securing the cable along its complete length, run the Point-to-Point diagnostics of the RoamAbout Access Point Manager program to analyze wireless performance and optimal placement of the outdoor antenna (see Figure 2-4 on page 2-17).

NOTE

The RoamAbout Access Point Manager program is described in the RoamAbout Access Point User’s Guide, which is shipped with the RoamAbout Access Point.

6.If required, adjust the direction of the antenna.

7.Once the installation has been fully tested, tighten antenna mounting nuts to lock the antenna into its position.

To prevent damage, avoid overtightening the connectors,

!nuts, and screws used to mount the antenna.

CAUTION

8.Secure the cable along its complete length. No part of the cable should be allowed to hang free. This is especially important for those parts that are routed outside the building.

9.Use waterproof stretch tape to seal all outdoor connectors.
