The WaveACCESS Office Router kit is available as a 2.4 GHz Kit
with either a 14 dBi directional or a 7 dBi omni-directional antenna.
This section includes mounting instructions for each of these
antenna types.
When mounting multiple antennas on a single mast, use the
following methods to minimize the influence of cross-talk
interference between the antennas:
■
Place your antennas as far apart as you can.
■
Alternate the mounting of directional antennas for vertical and
horizontal polarization.
The illustrations on the following pages picture the mounting
instructions for vertical polarization.

You can mount the Lucent Technologies 14 dBi Directional
Antenna to a mast or a flat vertical surface, such as a wall.
In most cases mounting the antenna to a mast will allow for more
flexibility in adjusting the height and direction of the antenna to aim
it at the opposite end of the wireless link.
