Mounting an External Antenna Chapter 17
FA4800 User Manual Release 1.9.40 17-4
Mounting an External Antenna
Optional external antennas can be mounted on a pole. The external mounting kit varies
according to the specific antenna model.
Mounting a Connectorized ODU Horizontally
What follows applies to both FA4800 and FibeAir 2000 with obvious differences.
An ODU may be mounted horizontally as shown in Figure 17-6.
To mount an ODU horizontally, observe the following cautions:
1. To ensure your warranty rights for horizontally installed ODUs, make sure that the
four ports ANT1, ANT2, HSS and ODU are firmly secured or moisture sealed with the
supplied caps.
2. Further, ensure that cables are connected using a “water nose” as shown in
Figure 17-6.
Figure 17-6: Mounted ODUs with correct “water nose”
Do not do this:

3. If you attach an external PoE device near the ODU, the same considerations apply.
