MOUNTING THE PROST
This section describes the mounting procedures for the ProST and the optional SDA-4S adapters.
Mounting the ProST
Warning: ProST is an outdoor radio unit and therefore, must only be mounted
outdoors.
Warning: Mount the ProST in an orientation such that its 15-pin D-type port (located
on the bottom panel) faces downwards. This prevents rain water from settling on the port,
and thereby, avoiding damage to the unit such as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting.
The ProST offers two optional methods for outdoor mounting:
Wall mounting
Pole mounting
For either mounting methods, the ProST provides mounting holes molded into its back panel for
attaching the wall or pole-mounting brackets, as displayed in the figure below.
Note: The standard ProST kit provides wall-mounting brackets. To pole mount the ProST,
contact your nearest Airspan distributor for pricing and ordering of pole-mounting brackets.
Note: A minimum of 3-meter separation is required between mounted ProSTs and existing
customer radio equipment when transmitting on different sectors (see figure below).
However, only a 1-meter separation is required between ProSTs when on the same sector and
transmitting to the same base station radio without requiring shielding.
The figure below illustrates the minimum separation between mounted ProST's when transmitting
on different sectors:
