Connecting Antennas and Ground Wire to 
OAP433e

OAP433e does not ship with any antenna by default. Since customers have different outdoor 
applications, we suggest that you choose from the various antenna options offered by Forti-
net. See the list in Appendix D.

The OAP433e works both with antennas that attach directly to the unit and remote antennas. 
When using antennas that attach to the unit, attach the antennas before installing the unit. 
When deploying an OAP433e with remote antennas, first mount remote antennas and then 
connect them to the AP. If you aren’t planning on using some of the antennas, be sure to ter-
minate the connections with antenna terminators in order to prevent excess transmissions 
from unused connectors.

Figure 38:

Antenna/Radio Associations for OAP433e

Although there are three radios in the OAP433e, space constraints allow for only eight antennas to be 
connected to the AP. Consequently, Radio 1 only supports two antennas. See Figure 41 for details on 
which antennas correspond to each radio.
