Quick Start 2-5
Step 3. Mounting the SPEEDLAN 4100 or 4200 Brouter
Select one of two options below:
•
Option A: Pole Mount
On a pole mount, position the brouter 5 to 10 feet below the antenna. Then, attach the
brouter to the mounting pole using two included U-bolt clamps, one on the top of the
brouter and the other on the bottom of brouter. Make sure you tighten the screws on the
back of the pole mount.
OR
•
Option B: Wall or Concrete Mount
On a side building mount, position the brouter 5 to 10 feet below the antenna. Then,
attach the brouter to the wall or concrete by using the concrete or wood mounting screws.
Make sure the brouter is secured.
Step 4. Running and Securing All Cable
The installation kit includes two cables with ready-made connectors to fit your particular installation
needs such as:
•
Pigtail (12" adapter from brouter)
•
(1) 5-10' antenna cable (attaches to antenna one end and to lightning arrestor other end)
•
Lighting arrestor (attaches to pigtail and to antenna cable)
a) Attach the 24" pigtail to the SPEEDLAN brouter to the appropriate port.
b) Attach the 10' length of cable to the antenna. Next, attach the lightning arrestor to the lower
end of the antenna cable.
c) Attach the other end of lightning arrestor to 24" pigtail.
d) Run the main length of the specialized Ethernet cable from the SPEEDLAN brouter to the
indoor junction box located inside the building).
e) Secure the cable with zip ties or cable clamps during this procedure.
When running the cable through walls or obstructions, make sure that there is ample room for
the connector to pass through without being damaged. Also, do not create extra pressure that
would cause the cable to kink or be stretched or cut (i.e., pulling cable through tight locations).
