Mounting Procedure
a.
Mounting Location - Considerations
The integrated panel antenna on the Subscriber Station (SS) is directional, so the unit must be aimed
directly towards the Base Station (BSU) signal. Identify a location on a wall or pole (preferably
outdoors) that faces the BSU. The SS is housed within a weatherized, outdoor-grade plastic enclosure;
however, it should be mounted in a location where it will not be subjected to gutter overflow or other
excessive moisture. Likewise, the SS should not be mounted near electric conduit or other source of
electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as a ballast for a fluorescent light fixture.
For best performance, however, orient the unit so that the signal path to the BSU is as free from
obstructions as possible.
