January 2006
Mount and Connect External Antennas
Physically mount detachable antennas in their desired location, preferably to the
same supporting structure as the Access Point, within 3 meters (10 feet)
distance, using the bracket supplied in the antenna.
Connect the antenna to the Access Point’s N-type Female connector using the RF
coaxial cable provided with the antenna.
Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent water
entering the connectors.
When no antenna is connected to the N-Type interface, the waterproof interface
boot should remain installed to protect the interface from the elements.
