Step 2: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the unit, you must nd 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 ow 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 at surface.
Caution!
Proxim recommends the use of a lightning arrestor at the building
ingress point. You can purchase the Proxim Lightning Protector;
see the documentation that comes with the Lightning Protector for
more information and installation instructions.
