Antenna Installation and Replacement
Depending on the configuration you specified, the router could arrive in the shipping container with the
required Wi-Fi antenna packed separately. The router Wi-Fi link enables users to connect to the router from
anywhere within Wi-Fi range. For example, a technician can check the status of the router from the ground
(instead of having to physically open the router on its pole-top installation) by remotely connecting to the
router over the Wi-Fi link.
For detailed technical information about the Wi-Fi antenna, see
Antenna Specifications, on page 76.
You may need to install or replace an antenna when:
•
You purchase a module separately from the router. The antenna is included with the module, and must
be installed on the router to complete the module installation.
•
You purchase an antenna separately to replace a faulty or damaged antenna.
Unused Antenna Ports
Liquid-tight, female N-connector is installed in any unused antenna port. The N-connector protects the router
interior from environmental elements including water, heat, cold, and dust. A port plug installed in the unused
antenna port before the router is shipped.
When you install or replace an antenna remove the port plug as illustrated in the following figure.
