Using the External Antenna

The IEEE 802.11a/n Wireless Outdoor CPE provides two reverse SMA antenna connectors if

you prefer to use the external antenna for your application instead of the built-in directional

antenna, please follow the steps below.

Remove the two plugs as circled below:

Connect your external antenna to the SMA-type connectors at the bottom of the CPE.

Users MUST power off the CPE first before connecting the external antenna to

it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB

management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the CPE;

otherwise, damage might be caused to the unit itself.

Follow the steps described in

Connect Up

to finish the installation.
