Hardware Installation Guide Installing the SPR
10.3. Connecting External Third-Party Antenna
(Optional)
The SPR model with an N-type connector can be connected to an external antenna.
The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the
standard SPR internal antenna models (i.e., 60°).

Cable: RF coaxial
Connector: N-type male
Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the SPR is
NOT connected to the power source.
Warning: Before powering on the SPR, ensure that some type of equipment
such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type receptacle.
This eliminates the risk of burning the SPR device.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the WipLL system
to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or
where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are
used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is
expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The
installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to
country regulations and per antenna type.
Warning: In accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that for external
antennas, the maximum EIRP is 36 dBm. The EIRP is defined as:
Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain + Cable Loss ≤ 36 dBm (EIRP)
