Multi-Function Mount
Access Point/Bridge Bracket
The access point/bridge bracket mounts on the back side of the unit housing. The bracket mounts on four
lugs on the unit. The bracket contains two support pins that are used to suspend the unit in the notches
on the mast mounting bracket until you secure the mounting bolts.
The access point/bridge must be positioned to obtain the correct antenna polarization that matches the
remote antenna. The integrated access point/bridge antenna is vertically polarized. All access
point/bridges must use the same antenna polarization for best operation.
Mast Bracket
The mast bracket attaches to a mast or tower support and is used to secure the access point/bridge (see
Table 3-1
).
Note
The U-bolts provided with the roof mounting kit support mast diameters up to 1.75 in. (44.5 mm). For
larger masts, you must supply the U-bolts to attach the access point/bridge.
