4 Attaching the Wi-Fi Antennas
For models ordered with wireless LAN interface, the device is shipped with three
unattached Wi-Fi antennas. You can attach any number of these antennas, according to
your network requirements. Once attached, you can position each antenna in the vertical
and/or horizontal plane for optimal transmission and reception.
Notes:
• Wi-Fi interface is a customer ordered item.
• Attach antennas before mounting the device. It may be difficult to attach the
antennas once the device is mounted.
To attach the Wi-Fi antennas to the device:
1. Manually screw the antennas on to the SMA coaxial RF connector located on the rear
panel, as shown in the figure below:

2. Orient the antennas as desired for optimal wireless performance. The antenna can be
orientated in the vertical and horizontal planes. For best performance, it is
recommended that the antennas be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the floor. In other
words, orient the antennas straight up.
