Cisco Aironet Six-Element Dual-Band MIMO Patch Array Antenna (AIR-ANT25137NP-R)
OL-23461-01
Installing the Antenna
Mounting on a Pole or Mast
The antenna can be mounted on a pole or mast using two U-bolts (not provided).
Note
Cisco recommends using a guillotine-style U-bolt or a U-bolt with a
notched, toothed backing plate to ensure proper support and permanent
positioning.
To mount the antenna on a pole or mast, follow these steps.
Note
The pole or mast must be rigid enough to hold the weight of the antenna
plus the associated forces produced by wind loads. In addition, the mast
must be structurally strong enough to withstand the clamping force of the
U-bolts.
Step 1
Follow steps 1 through 4 from
“Mounting on a Wall or Ceiling”
: Remove the
antenna and bracket from the shipping container, move the adjustment bolt from
the shipping position to the adjustment slot, and select a mounting location.
Step 2
Position the antenna, mounting bracket, and U-bolts on the mast.
Step 3
Tighten the U-bolts until the antenna is secure on the mast.
Once the antenna is secured on the mast, you can adjust the azimuth and elevation.
Step 4
To adjust the azimuth and elevation, use a 10-mm wrench to loosen the adjustment
bolts and the main pivot bolt (
). Azimuth can be adjusted ±60 degrees and
elevation can be adjusted ±60 degrees.
Step 5
After you adjust the antenna position, tighten the adjustment bolts and the pivot
bolts. Tighten all bolts to 7 ± 0.5 lb-ft. (9.5 Nm).
Step 6
Connect the antenna cable to the access point.
