S&C Instruction Sheet 1069-500
For poles having a diameter larger than 50 mm (2 inches) or irregularly shaped poles,
use mounting straps (not supplied) to mount the radio.
1. Position the universal mounting bracket against the pole.
2. Thread two mounting straps around the pole and through the slots located near the top
and bottom of the universal mounting bracket. Secure the mounting straps.
Setup and Installation
Mounting Straps
Pole Mounting
1. Insert the two U-bolts through the holes in the claw-toothed piece.
2. On each U-bolt, place a washer, a lock washer, and a nut. Smaller pole diameters
usually require a second nut as a spacer to hold the bracket away from the U-bolt
clamp. Finger-tighten the nuts. There should be about 12-15 mm (1/2-5/8 inch) of the
U-bolt sticking out past the second nut.
3. Mount the second U-bolt. Use the mounting bracket as a guide to correctly space the
two U-bolts, then tighten the nuts. A horizontal pole-mount is also shown for reference.
Use lock washers and nuts to secure the bracket to the U-bolts. Installation on
a horizontal pole is the same; you just use different holes in the mounting plate.
See Figure 3.

Now that you’ve attached the Universal Mounting Plate, you are ready to proceed to the
next steps. If you are using separately mounted antennas, mount them now. If you are
using the temporary staging antennas, slide the IntelliCom WAN Mesh Radio onto the
mounting plate; secure it with four screws.
Mounting Antennas
Connecting Cables
After the radio is mounted, attach the antennas, the power cable, and any Ethernet cables
you need. In Figure 4 on page 9, note that all of the weatherproof caps have been removed
for illustrative purposes. Do not leave any unused connectors uncovered.
Note the location of the weatherproof cap that has the reset button under it, at the
bottom left in Figure 4. To reset the unit, apply power and wait until the unit has fully
booted and the status light has come on. Then use a paperclip to press and hold the reset
button until the status LED blinks. This takes about 12 to 15 seconds.
