This guide is not intended to replace existing hardware installation guides, software configuration guides, or other sources of information that are product specific. Instead, this guide is intended to provide a single source of antenna information and supported platforms for the Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points. This guide does not cover antenna or accessories compatibility with indoor enterprise products, although it does cover a number of indoor use cases for industrial products. Antennas might be installed into the host router prior to delivery or ordered separately as a field-replaceable unit. Please consult your products Hardware Installation Guide for details. This chapter covers the following topics: Overview Safety Precautions Installation Requirements General Installation Instructions for Mounting Antennas Obtaining Technical Assistance Additional Information Overview Deciding which antenna to use involves many factors such as coverage area, maximum distance, indoor location, outdoor location, and antenna height. When antennas are used indoors, the building geometry, construction materials, ceiling height, and internal obstructions must be considered. In outdoor environments, obstructions such as trees, vehicles, buildings, and hills must be considered. Safety Precautions WARNING: Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052 Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. Cisco Systems, Inc. 21 www.cisco.com Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide WARNING: For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Requirements This section describes the factors to consider when planning an installation: Installation Location Antenna Connections Optimum Performance Installation Location WARNING: Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052 22 Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide The location of the antenna is important. Objects such as metal columns, walls, and so on, reduce efficiency. Best performance is achieved when antennas are mounted at the same height and in a direct line of sight with no obstructions. If this is not possible and reception is poor, you should try different mounting positions to optimize reception. If the antenna is designed to create an omnidirectional broadcast pattern, the antenna should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. Antenna installation and replacement should only be performed at one of the following, certified location types: Cisco DF facility Customer premises field depot Before installing your antenna, determine the optimum location for safety and performance. Follow these steps to determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees: 1. Measure the height of your antenna. 2. Add this length to the length of your tower or mast, then double this total for the minimum safe clearance distance from wires, power lines, and trees. CAUTION: If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional technical assistance for a mounting alternative. Antenna Connections Before you install or replace antennas, make sure the router is: Powered off Disconnected from all power sources Removed from a pole-top installation NOTE: Caps on the RF-connectors are installed to protect them from the environment. They must only be removed to install a chassis-mounted antenna or external RF cable. Optimum Performance The higher your antenna is above the ground, the better it performs, generally. If your antenna is connected to the router with external RF cables, it is good practice to install your antenna about 5 to 10 foot (1.5 to 3 meters) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device so that the lead-in cable can be as direct as possible. Vehicle mounted antennas must be mounted on a flat surface on the roof away from any obstructions. Antennas transmit and receive radio signals which are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Install the antenna vertically and mount it with the cables pointing towards the ground. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in surrounding buildings’ construction impacts antenna signal strength. Consider the following 23 Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide — Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength. — Signals penetrate only one or two solid and pre-cast concrete walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength. — Signals are likely to reflect off a thick metal wall and not penetrate it at all. — Signals are likely to reflect off a chain link fence or a wire mesh with spaces of 1 to 1-1/2 in (2.5 to 3.8 cm). Microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the WiFi radios. Before installing the antenna according to the installation procedures in the following chapters, you must complete these steps: — Remove any plug or connector that is installed in the antenna port. — Verify the correct antenna port for installation, based on the antenna model you are installing. See the installation document for your router regarding the correct antenna port location. Antennas must be installed in the correct antenna port for ease of installation and optimal performance. Vehicle mounted antennas must be separated by at least 18 in (45 cm) to reduce interference between radios. A greater separation is preferred. General Installation Instructions for Mounting Antennas CAUTION: For outside installations, make sure you do not mount the antenna upside down or block the bottom of the antenna at the cable exit. The correct mounting position is with the cable pointing down (towards the ground) so that any moisture will drain through the antenna drain holes. The antenna ships with a yellow mounting instruction label temporarily attached to the antenna radome. The following instructions are common to most mast mounted installations. For specific installation instructions for each antenna, see the antenna data-sheet and the router hardware installation guide. 1. Assemble your new antenna on the ground or a level surface at the installation site. 2. Connect its coaxial cable while you are on the ground and attach the antenna to the mast. 3. Ensure that the mast does not fall as you raise or remove it. Use a durable non-conductive rope secured at each two foot level as the mast is raised. Have an assistant tend the rope, ready to pull the mast clear of any hazards (such as power lines) should it begin to fall. 4. Use the mounting bracket provided with the antenna. 5. If the installation will use guy wires: a. Install guy anchor bolts. b. Estimate the length of guy wire and cut it before raising the mast. c. Attach guy wires to a mast using guy rings. 6. Carefully connect the antenna and mast assembly to its mounting bracket and tighten the clamp bolts. In the case of a a guyed (tall, thin mast) installation, you must have at least one assistant to hold the mast upright while the guy wires are attached and tightened to the anchor bolts. 24 Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide 7. Attach a “DANGER” label at eye level on the mast. 8. Install ground rods to remove any static electricity buildup and connect a ground wire to the mast and ground rod. Use ground rods designed for that purpose, not a spare piece of pipe. Unused Antenna Ports Port plugs must be installed in any unused antenna ports. The weatherproof caps on the connectors protect the router interior from environmental elements including water, heat, cold, and dust. They are installed on unused ports before the router is shipped. When you install a new antenna in a port with an N-connector: Chassis-mounted antennas—Remove the weather proof cap before installing a chassis-mounted antenna. External antennas—Remove weatherproof cap, then connect the supported Cisco cable to the connector.

Installation Notes NOTE: This antenna is designed to be mounted indoors on a ceiling. The antenna is mountable to ceiling tiles less than 1” thick or to hard ceilings with the included installation accessories. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: The antenna must be mounted to a ceiling to maximize its omnidirectional propagation characteristics. Mounting it on a wall may noticeably decrease the antenna range and overall performance. Wherever possible, mount the EHWIC and antenna where the wireless devices would be within sight and avoid physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between antenna and EHWIC degrades the wireless radio signals. 79 Running H/F 1 Running H/F 2 The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration. — Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor penetration. Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage area. Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions. CAUTION: Install the EHWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency bands. Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless performance. CAUTION: We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance. Safety Instructions Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna: Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as that of others, seek professional assistance. Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the location where you intend to install the antenna. Choose your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember that electric power cables and telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric power line until determined otherwise. Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables close to your mounting location. When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Do dress properly: shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. WARNING: In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Statement 332 CAUTION: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001 CAUTION: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024 CAUTION: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 CAUTION: Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Statement 1035 80 Running H/F 1 Running H/F 2 CAUTION: Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Statement 1036 CAUTION: Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Statement 1037 CAUTION: To report a gas leak, do not use a telephone in the vicinity of the leak. Statement 1039 CAUTION: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).

The threads on this connector must comply with ANSI 7/16-28 UNEF 2B thread specification. The antenna is designed to be used only indoors. Installation Notes This antenna is designed to be mounted directly to any Cisco 4G and Cisco 3G wireless ISR and EHWIC with a TNC connector by simply threading it onto the mating connector. Mount and deploy the antenna at the 0-degree position, 45-degree position, or the 90-degree position, and then change that position at will. The rotation of the antenna into the proper position can take place while the antenna is still loose on the mating connector. No software is required for this installation. Caution: Do not install this antenna in an outdoor environment. In addition to the antenna orientation, the installation location of the wireless EHWIC plays a significant role in determining overall network performance with respect to all the wireless clients. Clients at the farthest coverage points might have 10 to 50 percent of the bandwidth available to clients close to the antenna. Wireless network coverage in one area or location might need to be lowered to improve the performance for clients in other areas or locations. Because antennas both transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the surrounding environment, including physical obstructions or radio frequency (RF) interference. 93 Cisco 4G/3G Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna (4G-LTE-ANTM-D) Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: When used on an EHWIC, always mount the antenna on an appropriate extension cable and antenna stand. The antenna performance will not be optimal if mounted directly to an EHWIC. Mounting directly to a fixed router (without an EHWIC) is allowed. Space multiple antennas apart by at least 17 inches (43 cm). Interference may occur when placed closely together. Observe the radiation patterns in Figures 2 through 7 to position the antennas for best coverage. Wherever possible, mount the EHWIC and antenna where the wireless devices are within sight and without physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between the device and the local base station will degrade the wireless radio signals. EHWICs and antennas should be installed above floor level in office environments or near the ceiling for better performance because most obstructions tend to be near floor level. The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through while still maintaining adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location for installing your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration. — Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degradation of coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco wall causes signals to reflect back and causes poor penetration. Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage area. Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions. Caution: Install the EHWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency bands. Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless performance. Caution: We recommend avoiding installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted equipment that include networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance. Note: If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider using a remote-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mount or ceiling-mount antenna, for better radio performance and coverage. Safety Instructions Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna. Warning: In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Statement 332 Warning: This equipment must be connected to an indoor antenna only. Statement 373 Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as that of others, seek professional assistance. Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the location where you intend to install the antenna. Choose your installation site with both safety and performance in mind. 94 Cisco 4G/3G Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna (4G-LTE-ANTM-D) Caution: Remember that electric power cables and telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric power line until determined otherwise. Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables close to your mounting location. When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Do dress properly: wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. 95 Cisco Dual LTE-Single GPS Multi-band Antenna Installation Guide (4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B) This document provides the description, supported features, and installation instructions of the Cisco Dual LTE-Single GPS Multi-band (4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B) Antenna.

A warning means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before working on an equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and standard safety practices to prevent accidents. Statement 1052—Installing and Grounding the Antenna Warning: Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1024—Ground Conductor Warning: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1025—Use Copper Conductors Only Warning: Use copper conductors only. Statement 1046—Installing or Replacing the Unit Warning: When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Caution: For your physical safety, and to help you install your antenna successfully, follow these safety precautions. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna you are about to install. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come and look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 107 Cisco Dual LTE-Single GPS Multi-band Antenna Installation Guide (4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B) If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Instructions The following section contains steps for installing the 4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B antenna: 1. While choosing the location, keep the following in mind: — Attempt to center the antenna on a flat plane. — Attempt to position the antenna so that it has 8 inches of flat plane in any given direction. — Attempt to space at least 16 inches from an adjacent antenna or metallic structure and choose a location with gentle surface curves to ensure proper sealing. — Ensure that there is a space that is 2 inches deep and 2 inches in diameter below the mounting surface to allow sufficient clearance for the mounting stud, hardware, and cables. — Ensure that the diameter of the hole is 5/8 inch. 2. Drill a hole through the mounting surface where the center of the antenna is located, as shown in Figure 10. Note: Ensure that the hole is deburred of sharp edges to prevent cable damage during installation. Drill the Mounting Surface 372748 Figure 10 3. Clean the mounting surface around the hole. The surface must be free of any debris, which would otherwise prevent the antenna's inner foam gasket from adhering to or the outer rubber gasket from forming a seal. 4. Remove the nut from the mounting stud and cables one by one. 5. Insert the mounting stud through the hole and then thread the cables through the serrated face nut one by one. 108 Cisco Dual LTE-Single GPS Multi-band Antenna Installation Guide (4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B) Warning: It is important that the orientation of the serrated face nut should be correct. Otherwise, the serrated part of the lock nut will not bite into the mounting stud. Figure 11 shows the bottom view of the antenna.

When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! 1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. 2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember, electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake. 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 5. When installing your antenna, remember: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. 6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you! 7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. 8. If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately. 116 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz 13-dBi Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2413P2M-N) Installation Guidelines Because the antennas transmit and receive radio signals, they are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Mount the antenna as high as possible to take advantage of its propagation characteristics. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location in which to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little affect on signal penetration. — Solid and pre-cast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall causes signals to reflect, causing poor penetration. Install the antenna away from 5-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device your antenna is connected to. Site Selection Before attempting to install your antenna, determine where you can best place the antenna for safety and performance. Follow these steps to determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees. 1. Measure the height of your antenna. 2. Add this length to the length of your tower or mast and then double this total for the minimum recommended safe distance. CAUTION: If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional help. 3. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device so that the lead-in cable can be as short as possible. Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on a pole from 1.63” to 2.3” pipe O.D. The mounting options allow the antenna to be vertically or horizontally polarized. Tools and Equipment Required An installation kit is shipped with the antenna and consists of the panel antenna with adjustable mount and hardware, including: Antenna mount bracket Elevation adjustable bracket 117 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz 13-dBi Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2413P2M-N) Azimuth adjustable bracket Four 1/4-in. 20x3/4 carriage bolts Six 1/4-in. 20 hex nuts Six 1/4-in. 20 spring lock washers Six 1/4-in. 20 flat washers Two pipe clamps To attach the mount to the antenna and secure it to the pole, you need the following tools and equipment, which are not provided. 7/16-in wrench 5/16-in nut driver or flat head screwdriver for pipe clamps The following sections contain typical procedures for installing the antenna on a pole.

The bracket allows the antenna position to be adjustable to +/–45 degrees azimuth and +/–60 degrees elevation. NOTE: Cisco recommends grounding the antenna. See the Grounding the Antenna for details. Antenna Cable Information If the antenna is used with the Cisco 1552CU or 1552EU access point, the port A of the antenna must be connected to port 4 of the access point, port B of the antenna must be connected to port 6 of the access point, and port 5 of the access point must be capped with the cap enclosed with the antenna. NOTE: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also causes signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss). NOTE: The antenna cable has a 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) bend radius. Sharply bending or crimping the cable may cause a degradation in performance. The antenna terminates with an N-male plug after a short, 2.5- foot (0.76-m) cable. The mating connector to the antenna is an appropriate N-female jack. The connector on the opposite end will vary according to the type of equipment used. After the cable is attached to the antenna, make sure that the connections are sealed (if outdoors) to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. Grounding the Antenna Follow these steps to ground the antenna in accordance with national electrical code instructions. 1. Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8 or larger copper-clad steel or bronze wire as ground wires for both mast and lead-in. Securely clamp the wire to the bottom of the mast. 2. Secure the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit and the mast ground wire to the building with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 foot (1.2 m) to 8 foot (2.4 m) apart. 3. Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in wire enters the building. 4. Drill a hole in the building’s wall as close as possible to the equipment to which you will connect the lead-in cable. 5. There may be wires in the wall. Make sure your drilling location is clear of any obstructions or other hazards. 6. Pull the cable through the hole and form a drip loop close to where it enters the building. 7. Thoroughly waterproof the lead-in area. 8. Install a lightning arrestor. 9. Connect the lead-in cable to the equipment.

Safety Precautions WARNING: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280 For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. 1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. 2. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. 3. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 4. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. 5. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 6. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. 130 Cisco Aironet Omnidirectional Antennas AIR-ANT2450V-N, AIR-ANT2450VG-N, AIR-ANT2450V-N-HZ, and c. Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 7. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. 8. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. 9. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes The antenna is designed to connect to a dedicated antenna port on the access point. No special tools are required to install the antenna. The antenna is resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. After the antenna is attached to the access point, seal the connections to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna is designed to create an omnidirectional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, the access point should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern is degraded on the building or tower side. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. A practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 foot (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. Tools and Equipment Required No tools are required to mount the antenna to the access point. However, you may need a ¾-in. (19-mm) open end or combination wrench (or adjustable wrench) to remove the antenna port covers. For information about tools required to mount the access point, see the appropriate access point documentation. Mounting the Antenna To connect the antenna to the access point, follow these steps: 1. If necessary, remove the antenna port cover. 2. Align the antenna’s N connector with the appropriate antenna port. 3. Gently push the antenna into the port. 4. Hand-tighten the antenna.

If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. 8. If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Guidelines Because the antenna transmits and receives radio signals, they are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Mount the antenna to utilize its propagation characteristics. One way to do this is to orient the antenna vertically and mount it as high as possible. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in the building construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little affect on signal penetration. — Solid and pre-cast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall causes signals to reflect off, causing poor penetration. — A chain link fence or wire mesh spaced between 1 and 1 1/2 in. (2.5 and 3.8 cm) acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks a 2.4-GHz radio signal. Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device your antenna is connected to. Install the antenna in a vertical orientation to maximize signal propagation. Site Selection Before attempting to install your antenna, determine where you can best place the antenna for safety and performance. Follow these steps to determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees. 1. Measure the height of your antenna. 2. Add this length to the length of the structure on which you are mounting the antenna and then double this total for the minimum recommended safe distance. Caution: If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional help. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 foot (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device so that the lead-in cable can be as short as possible. 136 Cisco Aironet 6.5-dBi Diversity Patch Antenna (AIR-ANT2465P-R) Installing the Antenna Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on any flat indoor or outdoor vertical surface. Hardware for mounting the antenna on drywall is provided. If you intend to install your antenna on another surface, you must provide the appropriate hardware. Note: Four mounting screws are provided to mount the antenna. To ensure a safe, reliable, and long-standing installation, you must use all four screws to mount the antenna. Tools and Equipment Required A mounting installation kit is shipped with the antenna and consists of the following hardware: Four #8 x ¾ screws Four #8 plastic anchors Four end caps You need the following tools and equipment, which are not provided. A Phillips screwdriver A drill A #29 ((0.136-in (3.45 mm)) drill bit (For drywall installation, other surfaces may require a different size.) A pencil A small mallet or hammer Mounting on a Vertical Surface This procedure describes mounting the antenna on a drywall surface. If you are mounting the antenna on any other type of surface, your procedure may vary slightly. To mount your antenna on a vertical surface: 1. Determine the location where you will mount the antenna. 2. Use the antenna as a template to mark the locations of the four mounting holes. 3. Use a drill and #29 drill bit to drill four holes at the locations you marked in Step 2. 4. Start a plastic anchor into each hole. 5. Use a mallet or small hammer to seat the anchors into the wall. 6. Align the antenna’s mounting holes with the anchors. 7. Start a #8 x ¾ screw into each antenna mounting hole. 8. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the antenna to the wall. Do not overtighten. 9. Install the end caps into the antenna mounting holes. 10. Remove the yellow outdoor installation warning label from the antenna radome. 137 Cisco Aironet 6.5-dBi Diversity Patch Antenna (AIR-ANT2465P-R) Communications, Services, and Additional Information Outdoor Installations You can mount this antenna outdoors. If you mount the antenna outdoors, you must provide the mounting hardware. For outdoor installations, Follow the instructions printed on the back of the antenna. Caution: An orientation arrow is printed on the back of the antenna that indicates the orientation for outdoor installations. You must install the antenna with the orientation arrow pointing down to prevent any water intrusion and to provide a drain for any moisture that may accumulate inside the antenna. Suggested Cable Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the antenna. Note: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss). The antenna terminates with a RP-TNC plug after a short, 3 foot (0.91-m) cable. The mating connector to the antenna is an appropriate RP-TNC jack. The connector on the opposite end will vary according to the type of equipment used. After the cable is attached to the antenna, ensure that the connections are sealed (if outdoors) to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicon sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. Grounding the Antenna Follow these steps to ground the antenna in accordance with national electrical code instructions. 1. Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8 or larger copper-clad steel or bronze wire as a ground wire. 2. Secure the ground wire to a static discharge unit (lightning arrestor, Cisco Aironet AIR-ACC245LA-R or equivalent) and then to a suitable building ground. If possible, route the ground wire from the discharge unit to the ground using stand-off insulators spaced from 4 foot (1.2 m) to 8 foot (2.4 m) apart. 3. Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the antenna cable enters the building. 4. Drill a hole in the building’s wall as close as possible to the access point to which you will connect the antenna cable. Caution: There may be wires in the wall. Ensure that your drilling location is clear of any obstructions or other hazards. 5. Pull the cable through the hole and form a drip loop close to where it enters the building. 6. Thoroughly waterproof the lead-in area. 7. Connect the antenna cable to the access point.

Safety Precautions Warning: Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! 1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. 2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake. 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 5. When installing your antenna, remember: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. 6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: You! 7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. 8. If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes The antenna is designed to mount on a dedicated mounting panel on the access point. No special tools are required. The antenna is resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. Therefore, Cisco does not recommend using cable or antenna waterproofing materials. Using such materials may cause important drainage holes to be blocked. The antenna base has four drain holes. There are also drain holes located under the cap at the top of the antenna. These holes allow proper drainage if the antenna is deployed with the cap pointing towards the ground. Note: Ensure that the cap is not damaged. 144 Cisco Aironet 8-dBi Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2480V-N) Figure 1 on page 145 shows the location of the drain holes in both the antenna base and under the antenna cap. Figure 1 Antenna Drain Hole Locations 1 2 232095 2 232096 2 1 Antenna drain hole under the cap 2 Antenna drain holes at the base Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna is designed to create an omni-directional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, the access point should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern is degraded on the building or tower side. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. Tools and Equipment Required No tools are needed to secure the antenna on the 2.4 GHz antenna mounting panel on the access point. For information about the tools required to mount the access point, reference your access point documentation. Mounting the Antenna To mount the antenna on the access point, position the antenna below the antenna connector on the access point and thread it hand tight, as shown in Figure 2 on page 146. 145 Cisco Aironet 8-dBi Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2480V-N) Figure 2 Antenna Mounting 3 4 2 1 142393 5 1 2.4-GHz antenna 4 Antenna mounting panel 2 5-GHz antenna 5 Access point 3 5-GHz antenna connector Communications, Services, and Additional Information To receive timely, relevant information from Cisco, sign up at Cisco Profile Manager.

You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device. Statement 1071 WARNING: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.Statement 1030 Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna. Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the location where you intend to install the antenna. 153 Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N) Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power cables and telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric power line until determined otherwise. Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables close to your mounting location. When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Do dress properly: shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long sleeved shirt or jacket. If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, they are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Mount the antenna to utilize its propagation characteristics. This antenna is designed to radiate energy in a somewhat narrow beam from the front of the antenna. It should be aimed into the intended coverage area. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna: — Signals penetrate paper, vinyl and drywall the easiest. A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — Signals are more heavily attenuated passing through concrete and solid-wood walls. — Signals often reflect off thick metal walls and may not penetrate at all. Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected. Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the side or front of the enclosure. Keep in mind that this antenna should be aimed into the intended coverage area, so you should mount the antenna so that the desired mechanical tilt can be achieved. If possible, mount the antenna near the access point so you can use the shortest possible connecting cables. Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on any flat surface or on a pole with a minimum diameter of 2 inches (5.08 cm) and a maximum diameter of 5 inches (12.7 cm). The antenna and one mounting flange are connected together when shipped. When mounting the antenna you need to assemble the bracket hardware, connect the antenna and bracket to the mounting surface, and adjust the antenna orientation. Contents of Antenna Bracket Kit Figure 4 shows the parts included with the antenna bracket. 154 Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N) Figure 4 Antenna Bracket Kit Contents 1 Mounting flange 5 Flat washers 2 Mounting arm 6 Lock washers 3 Arm attachment bolts (5/16-18 x 1-5/8") 7 Arm attachment nuts (5/16-18) 4 Serrated washers 8 Hose clamps (50 – 135 mm adjustment) NOTE: One flange (not pictured here) ships attached to the antenna. The flange pictured here is the one that you attach to the wall or the pole. Tools and Equipment Required You will need these tools to loosen and tighten the adjustment bolts on the bracket: A 1/2 in. (13-mm) wrench or socket To mount the antenna on a wall or ceiling, you will need these supplies: Four mounting screws or bolts and wall anchors NOTE: The fasteners and mounting surface should be capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 150 pounds (68 kg) to support the weight of the antenna and bracket plus the potential wind loading on the antenna. 155 Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N) To mount the antenna on a pole or mast, you will need either or both of these supplies: Slotted screwdriver to tighten the screws on the hose clamps A 5/16 in. (8mm) socket or box wrench NOTE: The pole or mast must be rigid enough to hold the weight of the antenna plus the associated forces produced by wind loads. In addition, the pole or mast must be structurally strong enough to withstand the clamping force of the hose clamps. You may need the following tools and equipment, which are not provided: A drill and drill bit A pencil Mounting on a Wall or Ceiling Follow these steps to mount your antenna on a wall or ceiling. 1. Remove the antenna and bracket hardware from the shipping container. 2. Determine the mounting location for the antenna. NOTE: The fasteners and mounting surface should be capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 150 pounds (68 kg) to support the weight of the antenna plus the potential wind loading on the antenna. 3. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling using four screws or bolts and anchors through the holes on the bracket. Figure 5 shows the wall-mount bracket. Figure 5 Wall-Mount Bracket and Dimensions (in millimeters) 4 slotted holes for hose clamps 4. Assemble the bracket hardware as shown in Figure 6. 156 Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N) Figure 6 Assembling the Bracket Hardware 5. Make sure you orient the antenna correctly (note the arrow on the back of the antenna that indicates the top of the antenna). Use a 1/2 in. (13-mm) wrench to loosen the elevation adjustment bolt and the elevation pivot bolt. 6. Adjust the azimuth (side-to-side position) and elevation (up-and-down position) of the antenna. Loosen the adjustment bolts slightly to allow for adjustment. Azimuth angle can be adjusted ±25 degrees and elevation can be adjusted ±60 degrees. You can use the azimuth and elevation markings on the mounting arm and the wall flange as a guide. 7. After you adjust the antenna position, tighten the adjustment bolts and the pivot bolts. Tighten all bolts to 18.7 +/- 5 lb-ft (25.4 Nm). 8. Connect the antenna cables to the access point. The antenna ports are labeled A through D, from left to right. — On the AP3702P, connect the antenna port A to connector A on the access point, antenna port B to connector B, and so on. — On the AP1570, connect antenna port A to Port 1 on the AP, antenna port B to port 2 on the AP, and so on. See the Suggested Cable section for cable recommendations. 157 Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N) Mounting on a Pole or Mast The antenna can be mounted on a pole or mast using two hose clamps. NOTE: The pole or mast must be rigid enough to hold the weight of the antenna plus the associated forces produced by wind loads. In addition, the mast must be structurally strong enough to withstand the clamping force of the hose clamps. To mount the antenna on a pole or mast, follow these steps. 1. Follow steps 1 and 2 from the Mounting on a Wall or Ceiling section. 2. Position and mount the mounting flange (Figure 4) onto the pole or mast using the hose clamps provided in the kit. The hose clamps should pass through the slots on the mounting flange (Figure 5). 3. Tighten the clamps only enough to hold the flange and antenna in place until the antenna is positioned to its final position. 4. Assemble the antenna and bracket to the flange as shown in Figure 6. 5. Position the antenna, mounting bracket, and hose clamps on the mast. 6. Tighten the hose clamps until the antenna is fully secure on the mast. Ensure that the antenna cannot rotate about the mast. 7. After the antenna is secured on the mast, adjust the azimuth and elevation. To adjust the azimuth and elevation, use a 1/2 in. (13-mm) wrench to loosen the adjustment bolts. Azimuth can be adjusted ±25 degrees and elevation can be adjusted ±60 degrees. 8. After you adjust the antenna position, tighten the adjustment bolts. Tighten all bolts to 18.7 +/- 5 lb-ft (25.4 Nm). 9. Connect the antenna cables to the access point. The antenna ports are labeled A through D, from left to right. Connect the antenna port A to connector A on the access point, antenna port B to connector B on the access point, and so on. See the Suggested Cable section for cable recommendations. Suggested Cable Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the antenna, such as Cisco AIR-CAB005LL-R-N= (5 foot low-loss cable with RP-TNC and N-type connectors) for AP3702P, or AIR-CAB005LL-N= or AIR-CAB010LL-N= (5 foot and 10 foot N-type connectors, respectively) for AP1570. Four cables are required. NOTE: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss). Painting the Antenna Painting the antenna and the bracket does not affect its performance if you use standard exterior-grade, oil-based or latex paint. Do not use metallic or metallic-flake paints, which will degrade antenna performance. NOTE: Before painting the antenna, cover the pressure-release vent on the rear, lower-left of the antenna with masking tape to prevent clogging (Figure 3). Cisco recommends Krylon Fusion for Plastic or Rust-Oleum for Plastic (which might require a primer coat). For best results, follow the surface preparation suggestions from the paint manufacturer. 158 Cisco Aironet Four-Port Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Antenna (AIR-ANT2513P4M-N) Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request For information on obtaining documentation, submitting a service request, and gathering additional information, see the monthly What’s New in Cisco Product Documentation, which also lists all new and revised Cisco technical documentation, at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/general/whatsnew/whatsnew.html Subscribe to the What’s New in Cisco Product Documentation as a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed and set content to be delivered directly to your desktop using a reader application.

The antenna can be mounted on suspended ceiling tiles having a thickness between ½ in. (1.27 cm) and 1 in. (2.54 cm). 163 Cisco Aironet Four-Element, MIMO, Dual-Band Ceiling Mount Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2524V4C-R) Safety Instructions Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna. Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the location where you intend to install the antenna. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power cables and telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric power line until determined otherwise. Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables close to your mounting location. When installing your antenna: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Dress properly: shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long sleeved shirt or jacket. If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, they are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Mount the antenna to utilize its propagation characteristics. A way to do this is to orient the antenna horizontally as high as possible at or near the center of its coverage area. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little affect on signal penetration. — Solid and pre-cast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall causes signals to reflect off, causing poor penetration. — A wire mesh spaced between 1 and 1 1/2 in. (2.54 and 3.81 cm) acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks a 2.4 GHz radio signal. Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected. Install the antenna horizontally to maximize signal propagation. 164 Cisco Aironet Four-Element, MIMO, Dual-Band Ceiling Mount Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2524V4C-R) Choosing a Mounting Location Mount the antenna mounted clear of obstructions to the sides of the radiating elements. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the floor, the better it performs. If possible, mount the antenna on the ceiling panel within 12 in. (30.5 cm) of the access point so you can connect its cables directly to the access point. If you must mount the antenna farther away from the access point, try to make the distance as short as possible. Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on a ceiling tile having a thickness between ½ in. (1.27 cm) and 1 in. (2.54 cm). Tools and Equipment Required The following tools and equipment are not provided: 1" (2.54 cm) hole saw to create a hole in the suspended ceiling tile. A step ladder high enough to access your ceiling safely. Installing the Antenna The antenna is installed to a suspended ceiling tile with a supplied 1 in. (2.54 cm) plastic nut. See Ceiling Tile Mounting Details for details. The antenna cables terminate with a straight RP-TNC plug connector after a 36 in. (91.44 cm) cable. The mating connector to the antenna on the access point is an RP-TNC jack. 165 Cisco Aironet Four-Element, MIMO, Dual-Band Ceiling Mount Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2524V4C-R) Mounting the Antenna on a Ceiling Tile Figure 2 Ceiling Tile Mounting Details Nut 330750 Ceiling Tile To mount the antenna on a suspended ceiling tile: 1. Mark the mounting location on the ceiling tile. 2. Remove the ceiling tile from the ceiling grids. 3. Use a 1" (2.54 cm) hole saw to cut a hole in the ceiling tile. 4. Insert the antenna cables, one at a time, through the hole in the ceiling tile. 5. Insert the antenna cables, one at a time, through the hole in the plastic nut as shown in Ceiling Tile Mounting Details. 166 Cisco Aironet Four-Element, MIMO, Dual-Band Ceiling Mount Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2524V4C-R) Note: Do not use the rubber gasket when you mount the antenna on a ceiling tile. The gasket is not required for ceiling tile installations. 6. Ensure that the antenna is properly positioned on the ceiling tile and then tighten the plastic nut hand-tight. 7. Reinstall the ceiling tile. 8. Connect the antenna cables to the access point. Note: The 5 GHz antenna cables are identified by a orange collar near the connectors. Ensure that you connect these cables to the 5 GHz antenna connection on the access point. Suggested Cable We recommend using a high-quality, low-loss cable with the antenna. Note: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. Keep the cable as short as possible as cable length determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss).

When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280 For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. 1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. 2. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. 3. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 4. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. 5. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 6. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 7. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. 8. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. 9. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes Antennas transmit and receive radio signals which are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Install the antenna vertically and mount it with the cables pointing towards the ground. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal can pass through and still maintain adequate signal strength. Consider the following before choosing the location for your antenna: — Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength. — Signals penetrate only one or two solid and pre-cast concrete walls without degrading signal strength. 173 Cisco Aironet Dual-Band MIMO Wall-Mounted Omnidirectional Antenna (AIR-ANT2544V4M-R) — Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength. — Signals will likely reflect off a thick metal wall and may not penetrate it at all. — Signals will likely reflect off a chain link fence or wire mesh spaced between 1 and 1 1/2 in. (2.5 and 3.8 cm). The fence acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks the signal. Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected. Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating elements. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the floor, the better it performs. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device to ensure the lead-in cable can be as short as possible. Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on any flat vertical surface, on a pole, or on a ceiling. All hardware for mounting the antenna on a wall or ceiling is provided. If you intend to install your antenna on another surface, you must provide the appropriate hardware. Tools and Equipment Required A mounting installation kit is included with the antenna and consists of the following hardware: Mount interface bracket Mount base Wall bracket One 1/4–20 x ½-in. cap screw One 1/4–20 wing screw Two #10 x ¾-in. screws Two #10 x ½-in. screws One screen mesh washer One spherical washer 3/16 allen wrench Rubber gasket Jam nut You may need the following tools and equipment, which are not provided.

If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes The antenna is designed to connect to a dedicated antenna port on the access point. No special tools are required to install the antenna directly to the access point. The antenna can also be mounted on a mast. To mast mount the antenna, you must purchase a suitable U-bolt bracket from a third party. The antenna is resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. After the antenna is attached to the access point, seal the connections to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna is designed to create an omni-directional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, mount the access point clear of obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern is degraded by the building or tower side. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Install your antenna about 5 to 10 foot (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. Tools and Equipment Required No tools are required to mount the antenna directly to the access point. However, you may need a ¾-in. (19-mm) open end or combination wrench (or adjustable wrench) to remove the antenna port covers. To mast mount the antenna, you must purchase the U-bolt bracket from a third party. 184 Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2547V-N, AIR-ANT2547V-N-HZ, and ANT2547VG-N) For information about tools required to mount the access point, see the appropriate access point documentation. Mounting the Antenna To connect the antenna to the access point: 1. If necessary, remove the antenna port cover. 2. Align the antenna’s N connector with the appropriate antenna port. 3. Gently push the antenna into the port. 4. Tighten the antenna hand tight.

For your safety, follow the installation directions. Each year, hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as that of others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna you are about to install. 482 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R) Select your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come and look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, remember: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: You! If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, don’t touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. If an accident occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. For a listing of all the warning statements and their translations, see Translated Safety Warnings for Cisco Aironet Access Points at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/warnings/reference/guide/ap_warn1.html Installation Notes Antennas transmit and receive radio signals that are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and the range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Install the antenna vertically and mount it with the cables pointing towards the ground. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal can pass through and still maintain adequate signal strength. Consider the following before choosing the location for your antenna: — Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength. — Signals penetrate only one or two solid and precast concrete walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength. — Signals are likely to reflect off a thick metal wall and may not penetrate it at all. — Signals are likely to reflect off a chain link fence or wire mesh spaced between 1 and 1 1/2 inch. (2.5 and 3.8 cm). The fence acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks the signal. 482 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R) Install the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected.

The antenna and one mounting flange are connected together when shipped. To install the antenna: 1. Decide on a mounting location. See the Deciding on a Mounting Location. 2. Ensure that you have the requisite tools and fasteners ready. See the Tools and Equipment Required. 3. Proceed with mounting the antenna. When mounting the antenna, assemble the bracket hardware, connect the antenna and bracket to the mounting surface, and adjust the antenna orientation. The mounting options available are: 1. Mounting on a Wall or Ceiling. 2. Mounting on a Pole or Mast. 3. Flush Mounting on a Wall Without Mount Brackets. 4. (Optional) Paint the antenna. See Painting the Antenna. 482 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R) Deciding on a Mounting Location The antenna should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the side or front of the enclosure, which contains the radiating elements. Keep in mind that this antenna should be aimed at the intended coverage area. Therefore, you should mount the antenna such that the desired mechanical tilt is achieved. If possible, mount the antenna near the access point so that you can use the shortest possible connecting cables. CAUTION: For outdoor installations, install the antenna with cables exiting downward. This will help prevent water from accumulating around the cable exit points. Tools and Equipment Required WARNING: The fasteners and the mounting surface should be capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 150 pounds (68 kg) to support the weight of the antenna and bracket along with the potential wind loading on the antenna. WARNING: The pole or mast must be rigid enough to hold the weight of the antenna along with the associated forces produced by wind loads. Also, the pole or mast must be structurally strong enough to withstand the clamping force of the hose clamps. Before you start with mounting the antenna, go through the mounting procedure for each kind of installation and ensure that you have all tools and fasteners mentioned therein ready. The following is a general list of fasteners and tools which are not included in the antenna and brackets kit. To loosen and tighten the adjustment bolts on the brackets, you need a flat-blade screwdriver. To mount the antenna on a wall or ceiling, you need four mounting 4 mm or #8 screws or bolts and wall anchors. To mount the antenna on a pole or mast, you will need either or both of these supplies: — Slotted screwdriver to tighten the screws on the hose clamps — A 5/16 inch (8mm) socket or box wrench You may also need the following tools and equipment, which are not provided as part of the kit: — A drill and drill bit — A pencil — A small mallet or hammer, to hammer — A Phillips screwdriver Mounting on a Wall or Ceiling 1. The fasteners and mounting surface should be capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 150 pounds (68 kg) to support the weight of the antenna along with the potential wind loading on the antenna. 2. Determine the mounting location for the antenna. 3. Attach the free articulating mount flange to the wall or ceiling using four 4 mm or #8 screws and fasteners, through the holes on the bracket. One of the two required articulating mount flange brackets come attached to the back of the antenna (see Figure 1). The other flange bracket, included in the kit, is the one used in this step. 1. Assemble the bracket hardware, as shown in Figure 5. Use a flat blade screwdriver to tighten the 1/4 20 x 1.25" screws on the brackets. 482 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R) 2. Orient the antenna correctly (note the arrow on the back of the antenna that indicates the top of the antenna). Use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen or tighten the fasteners at the azimuth and elevation- adjustment pivots. 3. Adjust the azimuth (side-to-side position) and elevation (up-and-down position) of the antenna. Loosen the adjustment pivot bolts slightly to allow for adjustment. The azimuth angle can be adjusted ±90 degrees (Figure 7) and elevation can be adjusted ±55 degrees (Figure 8). Use the azimuth and elevation markings on the articulating mounting arm and the flange brackets as a guide. See Figure 6. 1. After adjusting the antenna position, tighten the pivot bolts. Tighten all the bolts to not more than 30 lbf.in. (3.4 Nm). 2. Connect the antenna cables to the access point. The antenna ports are labeled A through D. Connect the antenna port A to connector A on the access point, antenna port B to connector B on the access point, and so on.

In addition, the mast must be structurally strong enough to withstand the clamping force of the hose clamps. 1. Determine the mounting location for the antenna on the pole or mast. 2. Position and mount the mounting flange bracket on to the pole or mast using the hose clamps provided in the kit. The hose clamps should pass through the slots on the free mounting flange bracket. One of the two required articulating mount flange brackets come attached to the back of the antenna (see Figure 1). The other flange bracket, included in the kit, is the one used in this step. 3. Tighten the hose clamps only to the extent that they can hold the flange bracket and the antenna in place until the antenna is positioned at its final position. Use a slotted screwdriver to tighten the screws on the hose clamps. 4. Assemble the antenna and bracket to the flange bracket. See Figure 5. 5. Position the antenna, mounting bracket, and hose clamps on the mast. See Figure 9 for reference. 6. Tighten the hose clamps until the antenna is fully secure on the mast. Ensure that the antenna cannot rotate about the mast. 482 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R) 7. After the antenna is secured on the mast, adjust the azimuth (side-to-side position) and elevation (up-and-down position) of the antenna. Loosen the adjustment pivot bolts slightly to allow for adjustment. Azimuth angle can be adjusted ±90 degrees (Figure 7) and elevation can be adjusted ±55 degrees (Figure 8). You can use the azimuth and elevation markings on the articulating mounting arm and the flange brackets as a guide. See Figure 6. 8. After you adjust the antenna position, tighten the adjustment bolts. Tighten all the bolts to not more than 30 lbf.in. (3.4 Nm). 9. Connect the antenna cables to the access point. The antenna ports are labeled A through D. Connect the antenna port A to connector A on the access point, antenna port B to connector B on the access point, and so on. For the recommended cable type, see Recommended Cable.

For this, you will need to discard the articulating mount flange brackets from the installation. NOTE: The following procedure describes how to mount the antenna on a drywall. If you intend to install your antenna on another surface other than a drywall, the following procedure may vary slightly and you should procure the necessary hardware. 1. Remove the articulating mount flange bracket that comes attached to the back of the antenna. 2. Determine the location where you will mount the antenna. 3. Use the antenna as a template to mark the location of the four mounting holes. See Figure 10 for the locations of the holes. 4. Using a drill and #29 drill bit, drill four holes at the locations you have marked in 3.. For drywall installations a #29 (0.136 inch or 45 mm) drill bit is enough. Other surfaces may require a different size. 5. Insert 8-inch plastic wall anchors into each hole. 6. Using a mallet or small hammer, properly seat the plastic anchors into the wall. 7. Align the antenna's mounting holes with the anchors. 8. Insert an 8 x 1¼-inch screw, through each mounting hole and into its anchor. 9. Tighten the screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten. 10. Connect the antenna cables to the access point. The antenna ports are labeled A through D. Connect the antenna port A to connector A on the access point, antenna port B to connector B on the access point, and so on. For the recommended cable type, see Recommended Cable. 482 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R) Figure 10 Back of the Antenna with Flush Mounting Screw-Holes Locations 1 2 1 354039 3 1 Screw holes for flush mounting on a wall. Each hole takes an 8 x 1¼-inch screw. 3 Pressure release vent. See Figure 2 for the distances between these holes. 2 Spot where the preinstalled articulating flange mount was removed from. Recommended Cable This antenna comes with four 3 foot long cables with RP-TNC connectors. If you need a longer cable reach, use AIR-CAB005LL-R= to extend the length by an additional 5 feet. 482 Cisco Aironet 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Dual-Band Polarization-Diverse Directional Array Antenna (AIR-ANT2566D4M-R) NOTE: A coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the cable, the greater the loss). Painting the Antenna Painting the antenna and the bracket does not affect its performance if you use standard exterior-grade, oil-based, or latex paint. Do not use metallic or metallic-flake paints, which will degrade antenna performance. NOTE: Before painting the antenna, cover the pressure-release vent on the rear, lower-left of the antenna with masking tape to prevent clogging. Ensure that you remove the tape afterwards. We recommend that you use Krylon Fusion for Plastic or Rust-Oleum for Plastic (which might require a primer coat). For best results, follow the surface preparation suggestions from the paint manufacturer.

These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected. 209 Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz/5-GHz MIMO 4-Element Patch Antenna (AIR-ANT2566P4W-R) Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating elements. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the floor, the better it performs. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device to ensure the lead-in cable can be as short as possible. Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on any wall. If you intend to install your antenna on another surface, you must provide the appropriate hardware. NOTE: Four mounting screws are provided to mount the antenna. To ensure a safe, reliable, and long-standing installation, you must use all four screws to mount the antenna. Tools and Equipment Required A mounting installation kit is shipped with the antenna and consists of the following hardware: Four #8 x 1¼ screws Four #8 plastic anchors Four end caps You may need the following tools and equipment, which are not provided. A Phillips screwdriver A drill A #29 (0.136-in. (s.45 mm)) drill bit (for drywall installation, other surfaces may require a different size). A pencil A small mallet or hammer Mounting on a Vertical Surface Follow these steps to mount your antenna on a vertical surface. This procedure describes mounting the antenna on a drywall surface. If you are mounting the antenna on any other type of surface, your procedure may vary slightly. 1. Determine the location where you will mount the antenna. 2. Use the antenna as a template to mark the location of the four mounting holes. 3. Use a drill and #29 drill bit to drill four holes at the locations you marked in 2.. 4. Start a plastic anchor into each hole. 5. Use a mallet or small hammer to seat the anchors into the wall. 6. Align the antenna’s mounting holes with the anchors. 7. Start a #8 x 1¼ screw into each antenna mounting hole. 8. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the antenna to the wall. Do not overtighten. 9. Install the end caps into the antenna mounting holes. 210 Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz/5-GHz MIMO 4-Element Patch Antenna (AIR-ANT2566P4W-R) 10. Remove the yellow outdoor installation warning label from the antenna radome. Outdoor Installations You can mount this antenna outdoors. If you mount the antenna outdoors, you must provide the mounting hardware. For outdoor installations, follow the instructions printed on the back of the antenna. CAUTION: An orientation arrow is printed on the back of the antenna that indicates the proper orientation for the antenna for outdoor installations. You must install the antenna so the arrow points up to prevent any water intrusion and to provide a drain for any moisture that may accumulate inside the antenna. Suggested Cable Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the antenna. NOTE: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible, because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss).

Safety Precautions Warning: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280 For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. 1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. 2. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. 3. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 4. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. 5. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 6. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Dress properly: wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 7. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. 8. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. 9. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes The antenna is designed to connect to a dedicated antenna port on the access point. No special tools are required to install the antenna. The antenna is resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. After the antenna is attached to the access point, seal the connections to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. 5 Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Omni-Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2568VG-N) Communications, Services, and Additional Information Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna is designed to create an omni-directional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, the access point should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern is degraded on the building or tower side. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. A practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. Tools and Equipment Required No tools are required to mount the antenna to the access point. However, you may need a ¾ in. (19 mm) open end or combination wrench (or adjustable wrench) to remove the antenna port covers. For information about tools required to mount the access point, see the appropriate access point documentation. Mounting the Antenna To connect the antenna to the access point: 1. If necessary, remove the antenna port cover. 2. Align the antenna N connector with the appropriate antenna port. 3. Gently push the antenna into the port. 4. Tighten the antenna hand tight.

Safety Precautions Translated versions of the following safety warnings are provided in the Safety Warnings for Cisco Aironet Antennas, which is available at http://www.cisco.com. Warning: Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Warning: This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Warning: In order to comply with international radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, dish antennas should be located at a minimum of 8.7 inches (22 cm) or more from the bodies of all persons. Other antennas should be located a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the bodies of all persons. Warning: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Warning: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Warning: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! 1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. 2. Select your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember, electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake. 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 5. When installing your antenna, remember: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. 222 Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz/5-GHz 8-dBi Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2588P3M-N) Installation Guidelines c. Do dress properly: wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. 6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: You! 7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. 8. If an accident occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Guidelines Because the antennas transmit and receive radio signals, they are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Mount the antenna as high as possible to take advantage of its propagation characteristics. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location in which to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little affect on signal penetration. — Solid and pre-cast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall causes signals to reflect, causing poor penetration. Install the antenna away from 5 GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device your antenna is connected to. Site Selection Before attempting to install your antenna, determine where you can best place the antenna for safety and performance. To determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees: 1. Measure the height of your antenna. 2. Add this length to the length of your tower or mast and then double this total for the minimum recommended safe distance. Caution: If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional help. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device so that the lead-in cable can be as short as possible. 223 Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz/5-GHz 8-dBi Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT2588P3M-N) Installing the Antenna Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on a pole from 1.63" to 2.3" pipe O.D.

See Grounding the Antenna, page 230. Antenna Cable Information The antenna is to be used with the Cisco 1552E access point. The port-to-port designations are as follows: port A of the antenna must be connected to port 4 of the access point, port B of the antenna must be connected to port 6 of the access point, and port C of the antenna must be connected to port 5 of the access point. Note: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible, because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss). Cisco offers low-loss 5 ft. and 10 ft. coaxial cables, parts AIR-CAB005LL-N and AIR-CAB010LL-N, respectively, for connection from the antenna to the access point. These cables have one straight male type-N connector and one right angle male type-N connector. To use all of the ports on the AIR-ANT2588P3M-N three cables will be needed. After the cable is attached to the antenna, make sure that the connections are sealed (if outdoors) to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. Grounding the Antenna Follow these steps to ground the antenna in accordance with national electrical code instructions. 1. Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8 or larger copper-clad steel or bronze wire as ground wires for both mast and lead-in. Securely clamp the wire to the bottom of the mast. 2. Secure the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit and the mast ground wire to the building with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 ft (1.2 m) to 8 ft (2.4 m) apart. 3. Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in wire enters the building. 4. Drill a hole in the building’s wall as close as possible to the equipment to which you will connect the lead-in cable. Caution: There may be wires in the wall. Ensure that your drilling location is clear of obstruction or other hazards. 5. Pull the cable through the hole and form a drip loop close to where it enters the building. 6. Thoroughly waterproof the lead-in area. 7. Install a lightning arrestor. 8. Connect the lead-in cable to the equipment.

For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, in Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). WARNING: Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. 234 Cisco Aironet 5-GHz 13-dBi Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT5114P2M-N) WARNING: For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! 1. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. 2. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance in mind. Remember, electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake. 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 5. When installing your antenna, remember: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Dress properly: wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket. 6. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall. Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line complete an electrical path through the antenna and the installer: you! 7. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely. 8. If an accident should occur with the power lines call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Guidelines Because the antennas transmit and receive radio signals, they are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Mount the antenna as high as possible to take advantage of its propagation characteristics. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in the building construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location in which to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little affect on signal penetration. — Solid and pre-cast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall causes signals to reflect, causing poor penetration. 235 Cisco Aironet 5-GHz 13-dBi Directional Antenna (AIR-ANT5114P2M-N) Install the antenna away from 5-GHz cordless phones. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device your antenna is connected to. Site Selection Before attempting to install your antenna, determine where you can best place the antenna for safety and performance. To determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees: 1. Measure the height of your antenna. 2. Add this length to the length of your tower or mast and then double this total for the minimum recommended safe distance. Caution: If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional help. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 foot (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. Mount place your wireless device as close to the antenna as possible, so that the lead-in cable is as short as possible. Installing the Antenna You can install the antenna on a pole from 1.63" to 2.3" pipe O.D. The mounting options allow the antenna to be vertically or horizontally polarized. Required Tools and Equipment An installation kit is shipped with the antenna and consists of the panel antenna with adjustable mount and hardware, including: Antenna mount bracket Elevation adjustable bracket Azimuth adjustable bracket Four 1/4 in. 20x3/4 carriage bolts Six 1/4 in. 20 hex nuts Six 1/4 in. 20 spring lock washers Six 1/4 in. 20 flat washers Two pipe clamps The following tools and equipment are not provided: 7/16 in wrench 5/16 in nut driver or flat head screwdriver for pipe clamps The following sections contain typical procedures for installing the antenna on a pole.

The bracket allows the antenna position to be adjustable to +/–45 degrees azimuth and +/–60 degrees elevation. NOTE: We recommend grounding the antenna. See Grounding the Antenna. Antenna Cable Information If the antenna is used with the Cisco 1552CU or 1552EU access point, the port A of the antenna must be connected to port 1 of the access point, port B of the antenna must be connected to port 3 of the access point, and port 2 of the access point must be capped with the cap enclosed with the antenna. Note: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. Keep the cable as short as possible because cable length also causes signal loss (the longer the run, the greater the loss). Note: The antenna cable has a 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) bend radius. Sharply bending or crimping the cable may cause a degradation in performance. The antenna terminates with an N-male plug after a short, 2.5 foot (0.76 m) cable. The mating connector to the antenna is an appropriate N-female jack. The connector on the opposite end will vary according to the type of equipment used. After the cable is attached to the antenna, ensure that the connections are sealed (if outdoors) to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. Grounding the Antenna To ground the antenna in accordance with national electrical code instructions: 1. Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8 or larger copper-clad steel or bronze wire as ground wires for both mast and lead-in. Securely clamp the wire to the bottom of the mast. 2. Secure the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit and the mast ground wire to the building with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 foot (1.2 m) to 8 foot (2.4 m) apart. 3. Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in wire enters the building. 4. Drill a hole in the building wall as close as possible to the equipment to which you will connect the lead-in cable. Caution: There may be wires in the wall. Ensure that your drilling location is clear of obstruction or other hazards. 5. Pull the cable through the hole and form a drip loop close to where it enters the building. 6. Thoroughly waterproof the lead-in area. 7. Install a lightning arrestor. 8. Connect the lead-in cable to the equipment.

Safety Precautions WARNING: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (e.g. U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 280 For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. 1. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. 2. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. 249 Cisco Aironet Omnidirectional Antennas AIR-ANT5150VG-N and AIR-ANT5150HG-N 3. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. 4. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. 5. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. 6. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: a. Do not use a metal ladder. b. Do not work on a wet or windy day. c. Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 7. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. 8. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. 9. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Installation Notes The antenna is designed to connect to a dedicated antenna port on the access point. No special tools are required to install the antenna. The antenna is resistant to the full range of outdoor environments. After the antenna is attached to the access point, seal the connections to prevent moisture and other weathering elements from affecting performance. Cisco recommends using a coax seal (such as CoaxSeal) for outdoor connections. Silicone sealant or electrical tape are not recommended for sealing outdoor connections. Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna is designed to create an omnidirectional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, the access point should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern is degraded on the building or tower side. Generally, the higher an antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. A practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3 m) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. Tools and Equipment Required No tools are required to mount the antenna to the access point. However, you may need a ¾-in. (19-mm) open end or combination wrench (or adjustable wrench) to remove the antenna port covers. For information about tools required to mount the access point, see the appropriate access point documentation. 250 Cisco Aironet Omnidirectional Antennas AIR-ANT5150VG-N and AIR-ANT5150HG-N Mounting the Antenna To connect the antenna to the access point, follow these steps: 1.

Cisco Systems, Inc. 258 www.cisco.com Cisco Cellular 2-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-2-4G2-O) The antenna may require RF extension cables. A shorter 2 foot cable length was selected on LTE WAN to allow you to optimize LTE WAN performance and wireless range. If you require a cable length longer than 2 foot with the antenna, then you would need to select RF extension cables of appropriate length and type. Thicker RF cables, such as LMR-600, LMR-400, or LMR-240, result in lower loss, higher RF performance and longer range of wireless network than thinner cables such as LMR-195, LMR-200. The trade-off is that thicker cables are more difficult to bend and route. For optimal performance, the length of thin cables needs to be kept as short as possible. For example, 2 foot and 10 foot lengths of LMR-195 cable at 2700 MHz frequency would have losses of 0.5dB and 2.3dB respectively. In this example at 2700 MHz the area covered by the wireless system with the 10 foot cable is reduced by 34% compared to 2 foot cable. Radius of communication is degraded by 20% in 10 foot vs 2 foot case. NOTE: Loss with the 17 foot GPS cable is compensated by the gain of the active GPS antenna and has little impact on GPS performance.

WARNING: This product is not intended to be directly connected to the Cable Distribution System. Additional regulatory compliance and legal requirements may apply for direct connection to the Cable Distribution System. This product may connect to the Cable Distribution System ONLY through a device that is approved for direct connection. Statement 1078 Safety Precautions WARNING: Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. 268 Cisco Cellular 2-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-2-4G2-O) Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit described in the section Contents of the Antenna Kit, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router: Open-ended wrench Electric drill NOTE: This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other structure you intend to mount your antenna on. Mounting the Antenna NOTE: A clean, flat surface at least 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in.) in area is required for mounting the antenna. Follow these instructions to mount the antenna: 1. Mark the desired location where you plan to mount the antenna and create a hole through the surface The diameter of the hole must be at least 0.75 in. (1.91 cm). 2. Thread the cables through the hole and insert the aluminum stud on the underside of the antenna into the hole. Ensure that the foam gasket on the underside of the antenna sits flush against the mounting surface. 3. Inside the vehicle, place the rubber sealing washer around the stud. Then place the metal washer and the metal nut onto the stud. Tighten the nut. Connecting the Antenna to the Router To attach the router-end of the cable to your router, please see the respective hardware guide for your router. NOTE: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss—the longer the cable length or run, the greater the loss).

(1005R) 284 Cisco Cellular and GPS 3-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-3-4G2G1-O) This chapter describes the technical specifications and installation instructions for the Cisco Cellular 3-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna, hereafter referred to as the antenna. The antenna is a three port antenna with two elements designed to cover the 698-960, 1448-1511 and 1710-2700 MHz cellular bands and one GPS element. The antenna can be mounted on the roof of a vehicle or fixed structure. The antenna meets or exceeds a variety of environmental ruggedization specifications for transportation applications. CAUTION: Read the information in Safety Precautions before installing or replacing antennas. The topics included are: Antenna Overview Technical Specifications Installing the Antenna Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request Antenna Overview Antenna Features Antenna Model Antenna Assembly Antenna Features The antenna features: Three antenna elements within one radome: two cellular and one GPS Outdoor and transportation ready Roof mount installation Dual cellular elements supporting 698-960, 1448-1511 and 1710-2700 MHz — Omnidirectional, vertically polarized, MIMO — Integrated 2 foot cables with TNC male connectors — LTE elements are interchangeable, either one can be connected to Main or Aux Active GPS antenna has integrated 17 foot cable with SMA male connector Cisco Systems, Inc. 285 www.cisco.com Cisco Cellular and GPS 3-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-3-4G2G1-O) The antenna may require RF extension cables. A shorter 2 foot cable length was selected on LTE WAN to allow you to optimize LTE WAN performance and wireless range. If you require a cable length longer than 2 feet with the antenna, then select RF extension cables of appropriate length and type. Thicker RF cables, such as LMR-600, LMR-400, or LMR-240 result in lower loss, higher RF performance and longer range of wireless network than thinner cables such as LMR-195, LMR-200. The trade-off is that thicker cables are more difficult to bend and route. For optimal performance, the length of thin cables needs to be kept as short as possible. For example, 2 foot and 10 foot lengths of LMR-195 cable at 2700 MHz frequency would have losses of 0.5dB and 2.3dB respectively. In this example at 2700 MHz the area covered by the wireless system with the 10 foot cable is reduced by 34% compared to 2 foot cable. Radius of communication is degraded by 20% in 10 foot vs 2 foot case.

Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 296 Cisco Cellular and GPS 3-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-3-4G2G1-O) If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit described in the section Contents of the Antenna Kit, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router: Open-ended wrench Electric drill NOTE: This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other structure you intend to mount your antenna on. Mounting the Antenna NOTE: A clean, flat surface at least 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in.) in area is required for mounting the antenna. Follow these instructions to mount the antenna: 1. Mark the desired location where you plan to mount the antenna and create a hole through the surface The diameter of the hole must be at least 0.75 in. (1.91 cm). 2. Thread the cables through the hole and insert the aluminum stud on the underside of the antenna into the hole. Ensure that the foam gasket on the underside of the antenna sits flush against the mounting surface. 3. Inside the vehicle, place the rubber sealing washer around the stud. Then place the metal washer and the metal nut onto the stud. Tighten the nut. Connecting the Antenna to the Router To attach the router-end of the cable to your router, please see the Hardware Installation Guide for your particular device. NOTE: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss—the longer the cable length or run, the greater the loss).

Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in surrounding buildings’ construction impacts antenna signal strength. Consider the following — Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength. — Signals penetrate only one or two solid and pre-cast concrete walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength. — Signals are likely to reflect off a thick metal wall and not penetrate it at all. — Signals are likely to reflect off a chain link fence or a wire mesh with spaces of 1 to 1-1/2 in. (2.5 to 3.8 cm). The fence acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks the signal. Microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected. 314 Cisco Multiband Indoor 4G Volcano Antenna (ANT-4G-CM-IN-TNC) For instructions on installing or replacing a Cisco Connected Grid module, see the corresponding installation and configuration guide for each module. For detailed instructions on opening the door, see the installation guide of your router. Before installing the antenna according to the Installing the Antenna, you must complete these steps: — Open the router chassis door. — Remove any plug or connector that is installed in the antenna port. — Verify the correct antenna port for installation, based on the antenna model you are installing. See the installation document for your router regarding the correct antenna port location. Antennas must be installed in the correct antenna port for ease of installation and optimal performance. NOTE: Ensure that you are able to access the antenna port from inside the router. If an installed module prevents you from reaching the antenna port, you might have to remove the module before installing the antenna, then reinstall the module. See the corresponding module installation and configuration guide for each module.

Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Install the antenna vertically and mount it with the cables pointing towards the ground. Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in surrounding buildings’ construction impacts antenna signal strength. Consider the following — Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength. — Signals penetrate only one or two solid and pre-cast concrete walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength. — Signals are likely to reflect off a thick metal wall and not penetrate it at all. — Signals are likely to reflect off a chain link fence or a wire mesh with spaces of 1 to 1-1/2 in. (2.5 to 3.8 cm). The fence acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks the signal. Microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected. For instructions on installing or replacing a Cisco Connected Grid module, see the corresponding installation and configuration guide for each module. Before installing the antenna according to the Antenna Installation, you must complete these steps: — Remove any plug or connector that is installed in the antenna port. 323 Cisco Indoor Swivel-mount Dipole Antenna (ANT-4G-DP-IN-TNC) — Verify the correct antenna port for installation, based on the antenna model you are installing. See the instatllation document for your router regarding the correct antenna port location. Antennas must be installed in the correct antenna port for ease of installation and optimal performance. NOTE: Ensure that you are able to access the antenna port from inside the router. If an installed module prevents you from reaching the antenna port, you might have to remove the module before installing the antenna, then reinstall the module. See the corresponding module installation and configuration guide for each module.

For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. 324 Cisco Indoor Swivel-mount Dipole Antenna (ANT-4G-DP-IN-TNC) If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Antenna Installation This antenna is designed to be mounted directly to the access point. For information about orienting the dipole antenna, see the hardware installation guide for your access point. In addition to antenna orientation, wireless access point installation location with respect to all wireless clients plays a significant role in determining overall network performance. Clients at the furthest coverage points might have 10% to 50% of the bandwidth of clients close to it. Wireless network coverage in one area or location might need to be lowered to improve the performance of other clients. Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the surrounding environment including distance between access point and client, physical obstructions, or radio frequency (RF) interference. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Wherever possible, mount the AP HWIC and antenna where the wireless devices would be within sight and avoid physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between client and access point will degrade the wireless radio signals. AP HWICs and antennas can be installed above floor level in office environments or near the ceiling for better performance since most obstructions tend to be near floor level. The density of the materials used in a building's construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration. 325 Cisco Indoor Swivel-mount Dipole Antenna (ANT-4G-DP-IN-TNC) — Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor penetration. Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage area. Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions. CAUTION: Install the AP HWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency bands. Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless performance. CAUTION: We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance. NOTE: If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider using a remote-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mount or ceiling-mount antenna, for better radio performance and coverage.

Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. 357 Cisco Multiband Panel Outdoor 4G MIMO Antenna (ANT-4G-PNL-OUT-N) If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit described in the section Contents of the Antenna Kit, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router: Phillips screwdriver Open-ended wrench Electric drill NOTE: This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other structure you intend to mount your antenna on. Preparing the Antenna for Installation NOTE: Before mounting the antenna on a mast or wall: - the antenna must be attached to the mounting bracket. - the signal cable must be attached to the antenna. To prepare the antenna for installation: 1. Attach the antenna to the mounting bracket. 2. To attach the signal cable to the antenna: a. Loosely hand-tighten the antenna nut so that the cable can be attached with ease. b. Attach the cable to the antenna. c. Hand tighten the N-connector to the antenna. d. Tighten the antenna nut securely after the cable is installed. e. Use weatherproof sealing tape (coax seal) at the connector junction. Start wrapping at the top of the antenna connector, wrap downward 3 times and end about 2 inches downward from the center of the connector junction. Then wrap upwards another 3 times to reach the top of the antenna connector. 3. Decide if the antenna is to be mounted on a wall or mast. Perform the following steps where relevant: a. If the antenna is going to be mast mounted, install the clamps provided in the mounting bracket. Align the antenna so the top of the metal bracket is even with or slightly above the top of the mast tubing. b. If the antenna is to be wall mounted, use the screws provided. c. Use both clamps and screws for extra security if required. 358 Cisco Multiband Panel Outdoor 4G MIMO Antenna (ANT-4G-PNL-OUT-N) Mounting the Antenna Follow these instructions to mount the antenna: 1. Mark the desired location where you plan to mount the antenna and create a hole to receive the antenna. NOTE: The rubber washer is not required for ceiling tile installations. 2. Make sure that the antenna is properly positioned, then tighten the washer and plastic nut to secure the antenna.

Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these obstructions. The density of the materials used in surrounding buildings’ construction impacts antenna signal strength. Consider the following — Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength. — Signals penetrate only one or two solid and pre-cast concrete walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength. — Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength. — Signals are likely to reflect off a thick metal wall and not penetrate it at all. — Signals are likely to reflect off a chain link fence or a wire mesh with spaces of 1 to 1-1/2 in. (2.5 to 3.8 cm). The fence acts as a harmonic reflector that blocks the signal. Microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the device to which your antenna is connected. For instructions on installing or replacing a Cisco Connected Grid module, see the corresponding installation and configuration guide for each module. For detailed instructions on opening the door, see the installation guide of your router. Before installing the antenna according to the Installing the Antenna, you must complete these steps: — Open the router chassis door. — Remove any plug or connector that is installed in the antenna port. — Verify the correct antenna port for installation, based on the antenna model you are installing. See the installation document for your router regarding the correct antenna port location. Antennas must be installed in the correct antenna port for ease of installation and optimal performance. NOTE: Ensure that you are able to access the antenna port from inside the router. If an installed module prevents you from reaching the antenna port, you might have to remove the module before installing the antenna, then reinstall the module. See the corresponding module installation and configuration guide for each module. 364 Cisco Integrated 4G Low-profile Outdoor Saucer Antenna (ANT-4G-SR-OUT-TNC) Safety Warnings WARNING: Avoid using or servicing any equipment that has outdoor connections during an electrical storm.

(1005R) 367 Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O) This chapter describes the technical specifications and installation instructions for the Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna, hereafter referred to as the antenna. The antenna is a five port antenna with two elements designed to cover the 698-960, 1448-1511and 1710-2700 MHz cellular bands, two elements designed to cover the 2.4-2.5 and 4.9-5.85 GHz WLAN bands and one GPS element. The antenna can be mounted on the roof of a vehicle or fixed structure. The antenna meets or exceeds a variety of environmental ruggedization specifications for transportation applications. CAUTION: Read the information in Safety Precautions before installing or replacing antennas. The topics included are: Antenna Overview Technical Specifications Installing the Antenna Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request Antenna Overview Antenna Features Antenna Model Antenna Assembly Antenna Features The antenna features: Five antenna elements within one radome: two cellular, two WLAN and one GPS Outdoor and transportation ready Roof mount installation Dual cellular elements supporting 698-960, 1448-1511 and 1710-2700 MHz — Omnidirectional, vertically polarized MIMO — Integrated 2 foot cables with TNC male connectors — LTE elements are interchangeable, either one can be connected to Main or Aux. Dual WLAN elements supporting 2400-2500 and 4900-5875 MHz Cisco Systems, Inc. 368 www.cisco.com Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O) — Omnidirectional, vertically polarized, 2x2 MIMO — WiFi elements are interchangeable. — Integrated 2 foot cables with RP-TNC plug connectors Active GPS element has integrated 17 foot cable with SMA male connector The antenna may require RF extension cables. A shorter 2 foot cable length was selected on LTE WAN and WiFi WLAN to allow you to optimize LTE WAN and WiFi WLAN RF performance and wireless range. If you require a cable length longer than 2 feet with the antenna, you will need to select RF extension cables of appropriate length and type. Thicker RF cables, such as LMR-600, LMR-400, or LMR-240 result in lower loss, higher RF performance and longer range of wireless network than thinner cables such as LMR-195, LMR-200. The trade-off is that thicker cables are more difficult to bend and route. For optimal performance, the length of thin cables needs to be kept as short as possible. For example, 2 foot and 10 foot lengths of LMR-195 cable at 2700 MHz frequency would have losses of 0.5dB and 2.3dB respectively. In this example at 2700 MHz the area covered by the wireless system with the 10 foot cable is reduced by 34% compared to the 2 foot cable. Radius of communication is degraded by 20% in 10 foot vs. the 2 foot case. At 5825 MHz WiFi frequency, 2 foot and 10 foot lengths of LMR-195 would have losses of 0.8dB and 3.4dB respectively. In this example at 5825 MHz, the area covered by the wireless system with the 10 foot cable is reduced by 45% compared to the 2 foot cable. Radius of communication is degraded by 26% in the 10 foot vs. the 2 foot case. NOTE: Loss of the 17foot GPS cable is compensated by the gain of the active GPS antenna, and has little impact on GPS performance. 369 Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O) Antenna Model Antenna Model Description ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna Antenna Assembly Figure 1 Cisco ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O Antenna NOTE: The GPS cable (center in the diagram) is 17 feet long.

WARNING: This product is not intended to be directly connected to the Cable Distribution System. Additional regulatory compliance and legal requirements may apply for direct connection to the Cable Distribution System. This product may connect to the Cable Distribution System ONLY through a device that is approved for direct connection. Statement 1078 Safety Precautions WARNING: Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! 383 Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O) For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit described in the section Contents of the Antenna Kit, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router: Open-ended wrench Electric drill NOTE: This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other structure you intend to mount your antenna on. Mounting the Antenna NOTE: A clean, flat surface at least 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in.) in area is required for mounting the antenna. Follow these instructions to mount the antenna: 1. Mark the desired location where you plan to mount the antenna and create a hole through the surface The diameter of the hole must be at least 0.75 in. (1.91 cm). 2. Thread the cables through the hole and insert the aluminum stud on the underside of the antenna into the hole. Ensure that the foam gasket on the underside of the antenna sits flush against the mounting surface. 384 Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O) 3. Inside the vehicle, place the rubber sealing washer around the stud. Then place the metal washer and the metal nut onto the stud. Tighten the nut. Connecting the Antenna to the Router To attach the router-end of the cable to your router, please see the Cisco 800 Series Industrial Integrated Services Routers page and view the respective Hardware Installation Guide. NOTE: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss—the longer the cable length or run, the greater the loss).

Antenna Installation This section covers the following topics: Installation Notes Tools and Equipment Required Install the Antenna onto the CGR 1240 Router Installation Notes This Cisco Multi-purpose Integrated Antenna is designed to be mounted directly onto the router. In addition to antenna orientation, wireless access point installation location with respect to all wireless clients plays a significant role in determining overall network performance. Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the surrounding environment including distance between the Field Area Router (FAR) and cellular base station, physical obstructions, or radio frequency (RF) interference. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Install the router with antenna without physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between the FAR and cellular base station degrade the wireless radio signals. The density of the materials used in a building's construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration. — Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor penetration. Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage area. Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions. CAUTION: Install the router and antenna away from appliances that share the same frequency bands. Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless performance. CAUTION: Avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance. 419 ANT-MP2-I-OUT-M and ANT-MP2-I-O-SS-M Antenna and Cable Kits NOTE: If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider using a remote-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mount or ceiling-mount antenna, for better radio performance and coverage. Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit described in the section Integrated Antenna Kits, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router: Strap wrench 13 mm socket wrench Install the Antenna onto the CGR 1240 Router Follow these steps to install the antenna onto the router: 1. Remove the plug on the antenna connector if one is present. 2. Attach the monopole antenna to your desired antenna port. Do not tighten the antenna completely—stop tightening so that the antenna is not fully installed. Insert Base of Antenna into Router Antenna Port 300648 Figure 12 3. From the chassis interior, the antenna MCX jack should be visible in the plug. With one hand, position the right-angle end of the antenna cable to the antenna’s MCX jack. With your other hand, push the cable end so it inserts into the MCX jack of the antenna. 420 ANT-MP2-I-OUT-M and ANT-MP2-I-O-SS-M Antenna and Cable Kits 1 2 4 3 300646 5 1 Antenna base 2 3 Connected Grid module coaxial connectors 4 (QMA-female) 5 QMA end Antenna-to-router coaxial antenna cable (with QMA-male connector) MCX end 4. From the exterior of the router, tighten the antenna using the torque wrench. Tighten to 6 to 7 ft-lbs. 5. From the interior of the router, install the coaxial end of the cable to the appropriate connector on your installed module. The antenna and module ports should be the same color (red, yellow, or green). NOTE: Some modules require two antennas: a main antenna and a diversity antenna. These modules have two antenna connectors on the front panel, labeled MAIN and DIV. Be sure to connect the main and diversity antennas to the correct module connectors.

Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. 436 Cisco Multi-purpose Integrated Antenna (ANT-MP-INT-OUT-M) Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Antenna Installation This section covers the following topics: Installation Notes Tools and Equipment Required Install the Antenna onto the CGR 1240 Router Installation Notes This Cisco Multi-purpose Integrated Antenna is designed to be mounted directly onto the router. In addition to antenna orientation, wireless access point installation location with respect to all wireless clients plays a significant role in determining overall network performance. Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the surrounding environment including distance between the Field Area Router (FAR) and cellular base station, physical obstructions, or radio frequency (RF) interference. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: Install the router with antenna without physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between the FAR and cellular base station degrade the wireless radio signals. The density of the materials used in a building's construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration. — Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor penetration. Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage area. 437 Cisco Multi-purpose Integrated Antenna (ANT-MP-INT-OUT-M) Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions. CAUTION: Install the router and antenna away from appliances that share the same frequency bands. Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless performance. CAUTION: Avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance. NOTE: If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider using a remote-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mount or ceiling-mount antenna, for better radio performance and coverage. Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit described in the section Integrated Antenna Kit, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router: Strap wrench 13 mm socket wrench Install the Antenna onto the CGR 1240 Router Follow these steps to install the antenna onto the router: 1. Remove the plug on the antenna connector if one is present. 2. Attach the monopole antenna to your desired antenna port. Do not tighten the antenna completely—stop tightening so that the antenna is not fully installed. Insert Base of Antenna into Router Antenna Port 300648 Figure 13 3. From the chassis interior, the antenna MCX jack should be visible in the plug. With one hand, position the right-angle end of the antenna cable to the antenna’s MCX jack. With your other hand, push the cable end so it inserts into the MCX jack of the antenna. 438 Cisco Multi-purpose Integrated Antenna (ANT-MP-INT-OUT-M) 1 2 4 3 300646 5 1 Antenna base 2 3 Connected Grid module coaxial connectors 4 (QMA-female) 5 QMA end Antenna-to-router coaxial antenna cable (with QMA-male connector) MCX end 4. From the exterior of the router, tighten the antenna using the torque wrench. Tighten to 6 to 7 ft-lbs. 5. From the interior of the router, install the coaxial end of the cable to the appropriate connector on your installed module. The antenna and module ports should be the same color (red, yellow, or green). NOTE: Some modules require two antennas: a main antenna and a diversity antenna. These modules have two antenna connectors on the front panel, labeled MAIN and DIV. Be sure to connect the main and diversity antennas to the correct module connectors.

(1005R) 439 Cisco Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN (ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA) This document describes the Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN routers. In addition, this document provides the antenna specifications and mounting instructions for the antenna. CAUTION: Read the information in Safety Warnings before installing or replacing antennas. This chapter covers the following topics: Technical Specifications, page 440 Antenna Installation, page 444 Antenna Radiation Patterns, page 447 Safety Warnings, page 452 Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request, page 453 Technical Specifications This section covers the following topics: Specifications, page 441 Vandal Resistance, page 443 Dimensions, page 443 Cisco Systems, Inc. 440 www.cisco.com Cisco Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN (ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA) Figure 1 Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna Specifications Table 1 provides the RF Specifications. Table 2 provides the Mechanical, Environmental, and Other Specifications. Note: While many antenna datasheets emphasize peak gain, in most outdoor applications gain at horizon is much more important. For low profile antennas from any vendor, it is important to evaluate gain at horizon prior to selecting the antenna for deployment. 441 Cisco Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN (ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA) Table 1 RF Specifications Specification Description Nominal Operating Frequency Range, MHz 863-876 MHz ETSI 902-928 MHz ISM (See Note 1) No Ground Plane With 2 foot diameter Ground Plane No Ground Plane With 2 foot diameter Ground Plane Peak Gain (dBi) Typical (See Note 2) +1.7 +3 +1.5 +1.9 Gain on Horizon (dBi) Average +0.1 -1.2 +0.6 -1.4 Gain on Horizon (dBi) Minimum (See Note 3) -2.0 -2.0 -2.0 -3.5 Efficiency 65% 76% 67% 69% VSWR (Worst Case) 1.7:1 1.2:1 1.5:1 1.5:1 Elevation 3 dB Beamwidth (HPBW), degrees 65 66 75 72 Azimuth 3 dB Beamwidth (HPBW), degrees 360 Nominal Impedance, ohms 50 ohms Polarization Vertical RF Cable Length (ft) 5 foot (See Note 4) RF Connector QMA (male), right angle Max RF Power (at 25°C), Watts 10 Watts Note 1: Antenna has been designed and tested to have excellent performance with and without a ground plane over the full 860-928 MHz frequency range. It can be installed on a metallic or non-metallic surface. RF parameters in the table are provided for both cases of ground plane vs no ground plane. Note 2: Peak gain of monopole antennas installed on a finite size ground plane will not be at horizon, and will be elevated above the horizon. In contrast, typical terrestrial radio deployments with omni-directional antennas involve communications near the horizon. Therefore, in the most common deployment scenarios the gain at horizon is a more useful parameter than peak gain. Note 3: The minimum horizon gain specification shows whether an antenna has radiation nulls in azimuth. Nulls are directions in which the antenna has poor gain (e.g. -6 dBI, -10 dBI, -20 dBI or worse), and nulls often result in severe transmit and receive signal loss in the direction of the null. The ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA antenna has a smooth horizon or azimuth radiation pattern, and does not have azimuth pattern nulls. When evaluating omni-directional antennas, it is important to ensure that the antenna pattern does not have nulls in azimuth, to ensure good transmission and reception signal quality in all directions at horizon. Note 4: All provided RF specifications include the RF loss of the integrated 5 foot cable. 442 Cisco Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN (ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA) Table 2 Mechanical, Environmental, and Other Specifications Specification Description Anti-Static Protection DC Grounded (See Note 1) Antenna Dimensions (Diameter x Height), mm, inch 147mm x 47mm, 5.8"x1.85" Weight, kg (lbs) 0.6kg (1.35 lb) Antenna Radome Color Electrical utility box green color UV resistance UV resistant, UV stable material Wind Operational & Survival 150mph minimum Operating Temperature -40 to +70C (-40 to +158F) Storage Temperature -40 to +85C (-40 to +185F) Ingression Protection IP67 when properly mounted to a flat surface Material Substance Compliance ROHS Impact Resistance Higher than IK10 or IK10+ Environmental Testing Antenna passed extensive environmental and mechanical tests appropriate for deployment on an outdoor electrical utility box. Note 1: Antenna data sheets often claim lightning protection, while in reality only providing a DC ground path for ESD protection. Cisco recommends use of a dedicated, high quality lightning arrestor for all antennas potentially exposed to lightning strikes. Vandal Resistance Antenna has been specifically designed to withstand opportunistic direct impacts from all angles, from more commonly carried vandalism objects or tools, such as aluminum or wooden baseball bats, skateboards, scooters, small knives and similar objects, assuming proper installation of the antenna on a flat surface. Antenna is not resistant to damage caused by intentional or unintentional tampering with professional tools used in isolation or in combination, such as long (e.g. 40") steel crowbars or pry bars, power drills, welding torches, axes, chainsaws, heavy duty sledge hammers and similar. Additionally, while the antenna is resistant to occasional, opportunistic, impulsive vandalism with common items - it should be understood that a persistent, skilled and focused individual with the right common tools and given enough time will be able to damage or tamper with the antenna. Dimensions Figure 2 shows the Antenna Dimensions. 443 Cisco Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN (ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA) Figure 2 Dimensions NOTE: Antenna Dimensions are shown in millimeters, except where explicitly specified in inches denoted by " or [ ]. Antenna Installation The antenna installation includes the following procedures: Tools and Equipment Required Mounting Components Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit, you must provide the following tools to install the antenna on the router: 1-5/16" (1.3125"), or 33.34mm open-end wrench. Recommended torque is 50-65 ft-lb or 68-88 Nm. McMaster Carr Double-D Hole Punch P/N 3449A85 or equivalent. Alternatively, you can drill or use a circular hole punch to create a 0.91" diameter hole. 444 Cisco Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN (ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA) Mounting Components Table 3 Antenna Mounting Components Item Number Description Quantity 1 HEX NUT, THIN, 7/8-14, SS, PA 1 2 WASHER, EXT SERRATED, 7/8", SS, PA 1 Figure 3 Mounting Nut and Washer Mounting the Antenna A clean, flat surface at least 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6 in.) in area is required for mounting the antenna. Antenna mounting stud has a Double-D cross-section compatible with the McMaster Carr Double-D Hole Punch P/N 3449A85. The Double-D prevents antenna from rotating while the mounting nut is torqued. It also provides additional vandal resistance by not allowing the antenna to rotate around the axis. Follow these instructions to mount the antenna. See Figure 4 for a conceptual mounting illustration. 1. Mark the desired location where you plan to mount the antenna, and create a hole through the surface using a McMaster Carr Double-D Hole Punch P/N 3449A85, or equivalent punch tool. Alternatively, it is possible to drill a circular hole 0.91" in diameter. 2. Thread the cables through the hole and insert the Double-D mounting stud into the hole. Ensure that the gasket on the underside of the antenna sits flush against the mounting surface. 3. Place the metal washer and the metal nut onto the stud. Tighten the nut to a torque of 50-65 ft-lb or 68-88 Nm. Figure 4 shows the vandal resistant antenna mounted to a matching color outdoor electrical utility enclosure of a simple rectangular box shape. Many outdoor enclosures come in much more complicated shapes, with a number of rectangular boxes and compartments joined together. In general, it is recommended that the antenna be installed on the highest surface of the electrical enclosure box. In this manner, the radiation in the upper hemisphere is not obstructed by other nearby geometrical features of the enclosure. In many deployments the nodes need to communicate to other nodes located near horizon. Placing the antenna on the highest enclosure surface is a good way to ensure that horizon communication is not obstructed. If it is not possible or feasible to place the antenna on the highest surface of the enclosure, please contact your Cisco account representative for support or 3rd party qualified RF (radio-frequency) professional with experience in antenna installation and siting. 445 Cisco Vandal Resistant Omni-directional Dome Antenna for 860-928 MHz ISM, WPAN and LoRaWAN (ANT-UN-MP-OUT-QMA) Figure 4 Antenna Placement on Electrical Enclosures Using the McMaster Carr Stud Driven Hole Punch This section describes the McMaster Carr Stud Driven Hole Punch for 0.76" Long, 0.91" Wide Double-D Shape.

Tools and Equipment Required No tools are required to install the antenna. This does not include the tools and equipment required to install the router or to assemble the tower, mast, or other structure you intend to mount the router and antenna on. Mounting the Antenna Follow these instructions to mount the antenna. If installing the antenna on an IR529UWP-915S/K9 or IR529UBWP-915S/K9, screw the antenna’s N male connector onto the N female connector on the chassis. Ensure that the connection is tight. See Single Antenna Advanced Range Extender—Direct Connect Antenna Configuration in the Cisco IR500 Series WPAN Gateway and WPAN Range Extender Installation and Configuration Guide. If installing the antenna to a bulkhead adapter or lightning arrestor, install the lightning arrestor or adapter to the side of the enclosure first, then screw the antenna onto the N female connector of the lightning arrestor or adapter. See Gateway Enclosure Mounted Antenna Configuration in the Cisco IR500 Series WPAN Gateway and WPAN Range Extender Installation and Configuration Guide. NOTE: Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. If a cable is used it should be kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss—the longer the cable length or run, the greater the loss.

If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately. Antenna Installation The antenna installation includes the following procedures: Tools and Equipment Required Attaching the Mounting Bracket Tools and Equipment Required In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit, you must provide the following tool to install the antenna on the router: A #2 Phillips screwdriver A hose clamp (shipped with your antenna) 3/4 in. open-end wrench NOTE: This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other structure you intend to mount your antenna on. Attaching the Mounting Bracket The antenna is provided with a mounting kit consisting of a mounting bracket and hose clamp. This kit allows you to mount the antenna to masts from 1.25 inches (3.2 centimeters) to 2 inches (5.1 cm). Cisco recommends that a 1.5 inch (3.8 centimeter) or larger tubing mast be used. The antenna is vertically polarized. Since the antenna has vertical gain, it is very important to mount the antenna in a vertical (not leaning) position for optimal performance. Follow these steps to mount the antenna onto a mast: 1. Place the connector end of the antenna through the hole in the antenna bracket. 466 Cisco Outdoor Omni Antenna for 900 MHz WPAN (ANT-WPAN-OM-OUT-N) 1 300663 2 1 Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna 2 Bracket 2.

Caution: Read the information in Safety Instructions, page 495 before installing or replacing antennas. This document contains the following sections: Overview, page 487 Specifications, page 488 Antenna Radiation Patterns, page 490 Safety Instructions, page 495 Installation Instructions, page 496 Related Documentation, page 497 Overview The LTE-ANTM-SMA-D omnidirectional dipole antenna is designed for indoor use with Cisco 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTEA) Service Routers (ISRs) and Pluggable Modules with an SMA connector. The LTE-ANTM-SMA-D antenna is marked with a dual green band to indicate that it supports Cisco LTEA routers and modules. This antenna has the following features: Support for frequencies of 698-960, 1448-1511, and 1710-2690 MHz. Standalone antenna peak gain of less than 3.7 dBi in the supported frequency bands. Articulating joint that can maneuver into three stop positions: 0°, 45°, and 90°. Male SubMiniature A connector that allows direct mounting of the antenna to any Cisco supported router or Pluggable Module with an SMA connector. The SMA connector design has added rotational frictional torque to ensure the SMA interface stays properly mated, and to reduce chances of a disconnect. The design is also more finger friendly compared to a classic SMA hex nut design. For optimal performance, we strongly recommend that you use two antennas to take full advantage of MIMO technology on all Cisco cellular routers that support MIMO (4G LTE and later releases).

You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Follow these safety instructions when installing the antenna. Antenna Installation Warning Warning: In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Warning: When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. 495 Cisco 4G LTEA, 4G LTE, and 3G Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna (LTE-ANTM-SMA-D) Caution: Do not install the antenna in an outdoor environment. Caution: For your physical safety, and to help you install your antenna successfully, follow these safety precautions. Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin. Choose your installation site with both safety and performance in mind. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna you are about to install. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Installation Instructions The following section contains information for installing the LTE-ANTM-SMA-D antenna: This antenna is designed to be mounted either directly or on an antenna extension stand to any Cisco 3G/4G wireless ISR, LTE and LTEA router with an SMA(f) connector by threading it onto the mating connector. Refer to the routers technical documentation for recommendations of direct mounting of antenna to the router versus installing the antenna on an antenna extension stand. Mount and deploy the antenna at the 0° position, 45° position, or the 90° position, and then change that position at will. The rotation of the antenna into the proper position can take place while the antenna is still loose on the mating connector. No software is required for this installation. In addition to the antenna orientation, the installation location of 4G routers and cellular modules play a significant role in determining overall network performance. Routers located at the farthest coverage points might have 10 to 50 percent of the bandwidth available compared to routers located closer to the cellular base station tower. Because antennas transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the surrounding environment, including physical obstructions. Radio frequency (RF) interference may occur between wireless systems located close to each other, especially if the antennas of these systems are located close to each other. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance: When you use the antenna on a modular router with an LTE pluggable module, always mount the antenna on an appropriate extension cable and antenna stand. The antenna performance, and therefore that of the router, will not be optimal if mounted directly to the pluggable module. Mounting of the antenna directly to smaller physical size routers is allowed. For optimal performance, space multiple antennas apart by at least 17 inches (43 cm). The lowest LTE frequency of 700 MHz 17 inches represents 1 wavelength. Spacing of 0.5 wavelength or 8.5 inch (22.5cm) results in good performance. Spacing of less than 8.5 inch may result in significantly reduced MIMO performance. Spacing antennas close to each other (e.g. 3") results in antennas detuning from their original designed performance due to antenna coupling. Wherever possible, mount the ISR cellular router or the pluggable LTE module and antenna where the cellular base station or tower are within sight and without physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between the device and the local base station will degrade the wireless radio signals. Install ISR cellular routers, pluggable modules and antennas above floor level in office environments or near the ceiling for better performance because most obstructions tend to be near the floor level. 496 Cisco 4G LTEA, 4G LTE, and 3G Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna (LTE-ANTM-SMA-D) The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through while still maintaining adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location for installing your antenna: — Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration. — Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degradation of coverage. — Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls. — A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood. — A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco wall causes signals to reflect back and causes poor penetration. Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage area. Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions.

For your safety, follow the installation directions. WARNING: Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard. WARNING: For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They may save your life! For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions. If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install. Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the size and type of antenna that you are about to install. Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job. Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you. Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble. When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines: — Do not use a metal ladder. — Do not work on a wet or windy day. — Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through the antenna and the installer. If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company to have it removed safely. If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
