Installation Guide for the 9 dBi Omni-directional Antenna ANT2409 Placement and Other Important Considerations Before installing your wireless antenna, observe the placement considerations. Antenna placement dramatically affects potential coverage. Follow these guidelines to maximize coverage: • Place the ANT2409 in a vertical position. Either right side up or up-side-down is Ok. • Place the antenna in the middle of the coverage zone and at 1.5m or higher above the floor.
Installation Guide for the 9 dBi Omni-directional Antenna ANT2409 • The best performance is achieved with a short cable between the antenna and the wireless device. The shortest approved cable to be used in conjunction with the ANT2409 in North America is the NETGEAR 1.5 m (ACC-10314-01) cable. • The antenna should be installed so that it is a minimum of 30 cm (12 inches) away from people.
Chapter 2 Installing the 9 dBi Omni-directional Antenna There are two parts to the wireless antenna installation process: • Assemble the wireless antenna for pole mount installation or flat surface mount installation. • Connect the appropriate electrical hardware depending on if the installation is indoors or outdoors. Follow the instructions in this section of the manual to install your antenna.
Installation Guide for the 9 dBi Omni-directional Antenna ANT2409 First, Assemble and Mount the Antenna Step Step 1 Procedure Feed the antenna cable through the antenna mounting assembly. Note: Use the correct cable. • Outdoors: use the provided 2m antenna cable. • Indoors: use the provided N/SMA adapter with a Netgear cable model ACC-10314-01, 02, 03, 04 or 05 (sold separately).
