Step 1: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the unit, you must find 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 flow 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. Using the supplied brackets and hardware, you can mount them to a
1.25 inch to 3-inch pole (outside diameter). Longer bolts (not supplied) are required for mounting the units to a larger
diameter pole. Using just one of the pole mounting brackets, you can mount the units to a wall or other flat surface.
CAUTION: Proxim recommends two lightning protectors to be installed. one near to the device (supplied with the
produce package) and the other near to the building ingress point. Refer to the documentation that comes
with the Lighting Protector for more information and installation instructions.
Step 2: Unpack Shipping Box
1. Unpack the unit and accessories from the shipping box.
2. Note the Ethernet and MAC addresses of the unit, as well as the serial number; these addresses may be used when
configuring the unit.
NOTE: The serial number is required to obtain support from Proxim. Keep this information in a safe place.
