9. On the RS4000, attach the two antenna cables to the SMA antenna connectors labeled
ANT 1 and
ANT 2 on the top panel of the RS4000 (see Figure 4) by turning the cable ends clockwise until
tight.
10. Attach two Ethernet cables to the Ethernet ports labeled
ETH 1 and ETH 2 on the top panel of the
RS4000.
11. Align the RS4000 to the bracket (against the wall) and tighten the four knurled thumbscrews until

Placing and Positioning the Antenna
The RS4000 antenna should be mounted to the wall within 6’ of the RS4000 using a standard camera
bracket with 1/4-20 mounting screw. The optional Light-Duty Camera Mount bracket (part number
MN-ACC-RS4000-WCM) is available from Meru Networks. The recommended orientation is shown
in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Antenna Mounting Bracket
The RS4000 antenna uses two 6’ RF cables to connect to the SMA connectors on the top panel of the
RS4000 (see Figure 4). The RF cables should be attached to the RS4000 as a result of the procedures
described in “Wall Mounting the RS4000.”
Mount the antenna and connect the cables as described in the following:
1. Using the screwholes in the mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill holes into the wall.
2. Attach the bracket securely with three 1/4" diameter fasteners or one 5/16" diameter and one 1/4"
diameter fastener if mounting to a wall stud (fasteners are not supplied).
3. Connect the RF antenna wires from the RS4000 to the SMA connectors on the top of the antenna.
