Connecting WLAN Antennas
Install a single WLAN antenna for Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) or dual antennas for Multiple-Input Multiple-
Output (MIMO).
To install a WLAN antenna, do the following:
1. Select an appropriate antenna. For a list of available WLAN antennas, refer to Section2.6.1, “Available
Antennas”.
2. Mount the antenna to a pole or wall in an area that provides good signal coverage and is away from any
signal noise emanating from other communications equipment.
3. Using shielded coaxial cables, connect the antenna to either the ANT3 (SISO) or ANT4 (MIMO) port on the
device. Make sure the cable is routed away from any noise sources, such as Switch-Mode Power Supplies
(SMPS).
If needed, install a lightning protect between the antenna and the device.
