2.5.3 Installing External Antenna
The AirMax is equipped with a 10dBi built-in patch antenna. If the built-in antenna can not
meet your requirement, you can connect AirMax2 with an external antenna via the female
R-SMA antenna connector.
Before you start, you would need an antenna converter cable. For example; if you want to
connect directly to an outdoor antenna with female N-Type connector, you would need a
Male R-SMA to Male N-Type connector. Please note that you should not connect the power
until the external antenna is attached to avoid damaging the RF.
Once you have the converter cable, please follow the installation steps below.
1. Remove the screws from the side of the
case.
2. Hold the sides of the bottom case and pull out
in the downward direction.
3. Use a prier to remove the stab that
covers the antenna cable exit hole.
4. You can now connect the converter cable to
the antenna port. Please run the cable
through the cable guard as indicated below.
5. Push back the bottom case. 6. Insert the case screws back
