A horizontal grid should be horizontal (or parallel to the ground). A vertical
grid should be perpendicular to the ground. Make sure all bolts and screws
are fastened tightly.

d Fasten the pole to the brackets. Position the antenna, point it in the
appropriate direction, and tighten the screws. Then, aim the antenna so it is
pointed toward the receiving antenna on the other building. The radio signal
radiates from the end of antenna like a wide-beamed flashlight. For optimal
performance, you may need to test your link using both horizontal and
vertical-oriented polarities. This configuration option varies with each location,
as well as RF signals that may be present in the area.
Step 3. Mounting the SPEEDLAN Router
Select one of two options below:
• Option A: Pole Mount
On a pole mount, position the router 5 to 10 feet below the antenna. Then,
attach the router to the mounting pole using two included V-bolt clamps, one
on the top of the router and the other on the bottom. Make sure you tighten
the nuts for the clamps on the back of the pole mount.
