Marquee™ Point-to-MultiPoint Series User Guide
The antenna can be mounted either vertically or horizontally polarized. If you are using a Marquee P-MP
with an attached antenna, the label located on the back of the unit shows an arrow indicating the
antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.7a and b). Please note that both ends of the link must use the
same polarization. Be aware that most omni antennas are vertically polarized and if the Marquee P-MP
EX is aimed at one, it must be installed vertically polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down.
If you are using a Marquee P-MP with an external antenna, there is no arrow on the label located on the
back of the unit and an additional N-type female jack is present to connect a short coax cable to the
antenna (see Figure 2.1b). All previous considerations regarding polarization are applicable to the
external antenna.

WARNING
If you are using a Marquee P-MP with an external antenna, the unit must
be operated with a proper antenna, microwave load or terminator
plugged into the N-type female jack on the back of the unit. Operating
the Marquee P-MP with nothing connected to the jack may result in
damage to the TX section of the unit which will not be covered by the
factory warranty and will be a billable repair.

as shown in Fig 2.9. Tighten hardware (two places). The pole mounting bracket (B) will accept pole
diameters between 1.75” to 3” OD. You may attach the Marquee P-MP unit to smaller diameter poles,
between 1” to 1.75” OD, by flipping over the pole clamp (C) so the convex part faces the pole and
using two M8x40 bolts. The Marquee P-MP unit can also be mounted to larger pole diameters by
