Installing the Antenna
Figure 4 Attaching Antenna Assembly
6. Adjust the position of the antenna to the desired azimuth and elevation angles and tighten all pivot hardware (2
places) to a maximum torque of 30 in-lbf (3.4 Nm). The bracket allows the antenna position to be adjustable to +/–45
degrees azimuth and +/–60 degrees elevation.
Note: Cisco recommends grounding the antenna. See Grounding the Antenna, page 235.
