Step 1: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the unit, you must nd a suitable location for the
hardware. The range of the radio unit largely depends upon the position of the
antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following
requirements, before mounting the hardware.
The location must allow easy disconnection of power to the radio if
necessary.
Air must be able to ow freely around the hardware.
The radio unit must be kept away from vibration and excessive heat.
The installation must conform to local regulations at all times.
The units are designed to directly mount to a pole or wall. Using the supplied
brackets and hardware, you can mount them to a 1.25 inch to 4.5-inch pole
(outside diameter). Using just one of the mounting brackets, you can mount
the units to a wall or other at surface.
Caution!
Proxim recommends the use of a lightning arrestor at the building
ingress point. You can purchase the Proxim Lightning Protector; see
the documentation that comes with the unit for more information
and installation instructions.
