H3C recommends that you use a mast with a diameter of 40 to 50 mm (1.57 to 1.97 in).
Choosing a mounting location
Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts. Typically, the
higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. If possible, use a cable as short as possible
to connect the antenna and AP.
