This chapter describes the site requirements for the successful installation of ExtremeWireless antennas.
This information is intended for sales engineers or site evaluators.
Warning
Site prerequisites should be verified by a person familiar with national codes, local electrical codes, and with other regulations governing this type of installation. Extreme Networks, its channel partners, resellers, and distributors assume no liability for personal injury, property damage, or violation of government regulations that may arise from failing to comply with the instructions in this guide.
ExtremeWireless Access Points that Support External Antennas
Not all antennas listed in this document can be used by all wireless access points. If the name of the access point ends with an "e", the access point supports external antennas. For example, the AP3935e supports external antennas. For legacy access points, refer to ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna Site
Preparation and Installation Guide (P/N 9034559-09) to determine if your legacy access point supports external antennas.

Choosing Antennas for Wireless Network Configurations
The type and number of antennas that you need depend on the configuration of your wireless network.
ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna with Wave 2 7
AP Site Preparation
Table 3: Antennas for Wireless Network Configurations
Network Configuration Description
LAN-to-LAN Point-to-Point
LAN-to-LAN Point-to-Multipoint
Wireless Infrastructure
This is a wireless link between two WDS
APs that connects two separate wired
LANs. (WDS APs are configured to operate as Workgroup bridges.)
In a point-to-multipoint network, up to nine WDS APs provide wireless links to connect up to nine LANs. One AP is designated as the root (multipoint) AP connected to a wired infrastructure. The other APs are called child APs. Child APs establish a backhaul connection with the root AP and, at the same time, provide
LAN switching.
This is an inside/outside wireless network where one or more WDS APs are used to establish a wireless backhaul and connect clients or LAN segments to the wired LAN.
Antenna Type
Directional antennas
Omni-Directional antenna— to which the root AP connects.
Directional antennas— to which the child APs connect.
An Omni-Directional or a sectored antenna.
Determining the Antenna Locations
The following factors determine the locations where you can place the antennas relative to one another and the distances between them:
•
Type of antennas. The ExtremeWireless antennas are described in Antenna Installation on page 23.
• Length of cable connecting the antenna to the AP.
• Data rate required.
• In a LAN-to-LAN network, the distance between the buildings.
• Obstructions in the signal path.
• In a wireless infrastructure network, the area around the antenna where clients need to communicate with the AP.
Directional and omni-directional antennas are often installed on rooftops. The directional antenna can also be installed on the side of a building. The following sections describe the factors that affect the range of these antennas.
Line of Sight
The shape of the radio beam, defined as the Fresnel Zone, is widest in the middle. The Fresnel Zone is
shown as the gray area between the antennas in Fresnel Zone and Line of Sight Clearance
. The exact shape and width of the Fresnel Zone is determined by the distance between the antenna and frequency of the radio signal.
The radius of the radio beam, shown as the lower half of the Fresnel Zone, is the distance from the center of the beam outward in any direction. The length of the radius is not based on the data rate and the type of antenna.
ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna with Wave 2 8
AP Site Preparation
Figure 1: Fresnel Zone and Line of Sight Clearance
The radius can be calculated using the following formula:
Where
D = Distance between the antennas in kilometers f = Frequency in GHz
60% of the Fresnel Zone has to be clear of obstructions to be line of sight. In addition to the Fresnel
Zone height requirement, earth curvature may become a factor in paths longer than 2 Km. The additional antenna height can be calculated using the following formula:
Where
D = Distance between the antennas in kilometers
H = Height required to overcome earth curvature

For optimal performance, ensure that the antenna products you choose, in combination with the height of the antenna installation above ground, provide sufficient clearance to allow your antenna installation to cover the distance between the two sites.
Obstacles within the line of sight can significantly reduce the distance and performance. Obstructions include neighboring buildings, trees, and power lines, as shown in
ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna with Wave 2 10
AP Site Preparation
Figure 2: Potential Obstacles to Line of Sight (not to scale)
Additional Location Requirements
This section describes other requirements to meet before installing the outdoor antennas.
• Lightning Protection
A lightning rod must be placed close to the antenna mast or wall bracket. This is required to protect the antenna from direct lightning strikes.
• Grounding System
Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the lightning protector is necessary to protect the installation from lightning and the build-up of static electricity. The wireless device and the lightning protector must be connected to the same earth ground using separate grounds. The antenna and the mounting structure require separate grounds to the same earth ground, using an equipotential bonding conductor. Check with a certified antenna installer, or local electrician, to make sure the antenna is properly grounded.
Ensure that the cable between the antenna and lightning protector is at least 0.9 meters (3 feet) away from high-voltage or high-current cable. For more information about the lightning protector,
see Grounding System on page 24.
ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna with Wave 2 11
AP Site Preparation
• Antenna Height
If you are mounting the antenna on a roof, the antenna must have minimum clearance as specified in
If you are mounting the directional antenna to a wall of a building, it must be high enough to achieve a clear line of sight. Mounting an omni-directional antenna to the side of a building can cause signal reflection and reduce distance.
Note
The installer is responsible for local building codes.
• AP Placement
The AP should be located indoors, and connected to the outdoor antenna using the shortest cable possible to reduce the loss of the cable.

ExtremeWireless APs That Support
External Antennas
Determining the Location of the AP
This section provides an illustration of each ExtremeWireless AP with information about how to determine where to place the AP.
Determining the Location of the AP
The ideal location to install your ExtremeWireless AP must satisfy the following requirements:
• For indoor APs, the location must be indoors to protect the AP from extreme weather conditions, excessive heat and humidity, and to keep the unit free from vibration and dust. For a list of
ExtremeWireless indoor APs and the supported antennas, see
External Antennas for Use with
• The location must provide a connection to the network backbone via an Ethernet LAN cable going to a hub, bridge, or directly into a patch panel. An AP in a WDS does not require an Ethernet connection since backhaul is established over the wireless medium.
• For an outdoor AP, the location must be close to where the low-loss antenna cable will enter the building. For a list ofExtremeWireless outdoor APs and the supported antennas, see
Antennas for Use with Outdoor APs on page 41.

The ExtremeWireless outdoor antenna kits do NOT provide the following items, which may be necessary to install the antenna:
• Mast or other antenna support structure
• Guy wires
• All cables or other hardware necessary for a complete grounding system
• Waterproof tape
Note
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that an outdoor antenna installation complies with local radio regulations.
Installation Overview
Note
Not all antennas described in this chapter can be used by every wireless access point. Refer to
Antenna Models on page 12 to determine if your access point supports the specified antenna.
The installation process is summarized in the following steps. The following sections in this chapter provide additional details.
1 Make sure the APs are mounted and configured as specified.
2 Plan and implement a grounding system (if applicable) that meets local electrical codes and safety standards.
ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna with Wave 2 23
Antenna Installation
3 Install the lightning protector (if applicable).
4 Provide and install an antenna support structure as necessary. Make sure that the support structure is connected to the grounding system (if applicable).
5 Connect the exposed metal connectors of the low-loss antenna cable to the grounding system (if applicable).
6 Mount the antenna to the support structure.
7 Connect the antenna cables.
8 Route and connect the low-loss antenna cable to the lightning protector that has been installed indoors (if applicable).
9 Connect the cable assembly from the AP to the lightning protector (if applicable).
10 After verifying that the communications link is fully operational, secure all cables and use weatherproofing tape to seal all outdoor connectors.
Grounding System
Direct earth grounding of the antenna and the lightning protector is necessary to protect the installation from lightning and the build-up of static electricity.
Caution
The antenna mast, ExtremeWireless AP, and lightning protector must be connected to the same earth ground (with separate grounds), using an equipotential bonding conductor. A good electrical connection should be made to one or more ground rods using at least a
6AWG ground wire and non-corrosive hardware. The grounding system must comply with the
National Electrical Code and safety standards that apply in your country. Always check with a qualified electrician to determine whether your outdoor installation is properly grounded.
The grounding system must satisfy the following requirements:
• The antenna mast, ExtremeWireless AP, and lightning protector must be connected to the same earth ground using an equipotential bonding conductor.
• The antenna and the mounting structure require a separate earth ground connection. Check with a certified antenna installer to make sure the antenna is properly grounded.
• Ensure that the cable between the antenna and lightning protector is at least 0.9 meters (3 feet) away from high-voltage or high-current cable.
• A good electrical connection must be made to one or more ground rods, using at least a 10 AWG ground wire and noncorrosive hardware.
• The grounding system must comply with electrical codes and safety standards that apply in your locality.
• Have a qualified electrician verify that your outdoor installation is properly grounded.
Caution
A properly installed safety grounding system is necessary to protect your ExtremeWireless outdoor installation from lightning strikes and static electricity build-up.
Mounting the Antenna
This section includes requirements and mounting guidelines for the ExtremeWireless outdoor antennas.
ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna with Wave 2 24
Antenna Installation
Selecting a Mast
Note
You must supply your own mast on which to mount an ExtremeWireless antenna.
ExtremeWireless antennas do not come with masts.
To minimize the influence of obstacles, signal interference or reflections, install the antenna at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from all other antennas.
If you need to mount multiple antennas on a single mast, alternate the mounting of directional antennas for vertical and horizontal polarization.
In subfreezing conditions, the communications link could fail if an antenna is exposed to ice buildup or covered with snow.
The mast must satisfy the following requirements:
• The mast must be constructed of sturdy, weatherproof, noncorrosive material such as galvanized or stainless steel construction pipe.
• Antenna mast length must be sufficient to allow an antenna height at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) above the roof peak. If the roof is metal, the antenna height should be a minimum of 3 meters (10 feet) above the roof.
Antenna Polarization
It does not matter what type of polarization you choose for your ExtremeWireless antennas as long as the antenna at one end of the communications link is mounted in the same plane as the antenna at the other end.
Vertical polarization is standard for the ExtremeWireless 14 dBi directional antenna.
To minimize the influence of cross-talk between antennas, you might need to mount the antenna for horizontal polarization when:
• Multiple antennas are mounted on the same antenna mast.
• The wireless link transmissions cross another radio beam from a neighboring installation.
Approved Antennas for the ExtremeWireless APs
Extreme Networks APs using certified external antennas must comply with local laws and regulations.
An approval may be required by the local regulatory authorities. Antenna Models on page 12 lists and
describes the optional antennas that have been tested and approved for use with the APs compatible with external antennas.
To mount the antennas on the AP3825e, refer to the following sections.

Cable Installation Guidelines
The cable configuration that you use to connect an AP to an antenna varies. Use the following sections as guidelines for cabling your AP to an antenna.
Do not install the cable in tight positions, as bending or applying excessive force to the connectors may damage the antenna cable. Always allow the cable to bend naturally around corners.
The low-loss antenna cable must be secured along its complete length. Do not allow any part of the cable to hang free. This is particularly important for cable parts that are installed outdoors. The antenna cables and cable connectors are not designed to withstand excessive force:
• Do not use connectors as cable grips to pull cable through raceways or conduits.
• Do not use cable connectors to support the weight of the cable during or after installation.
• Do not use tools to tighten connectors (finger-tighten only).
ExtremeWireless™ External Antenna with Wave 2 39
Antenna Installation
Connecting the Cables
Take the following steps to connect cables:
1 Secure the low-loss cable to the mast such that the cable connectors do not support the full weight of the cable.
Caution
To avoid damage to the antenna cable and connectors, do not use tools to tighten cable connectors.
Precaución: para evitar daños en los cables y el conector de la antena, no use herramientas para apretar los conectores.
Achtung: Verwenden Sie kein Werkzeug zum Anziehen der Kabelanschlüsse. Durch
Werkzeug können das Kabel und die Anschlüsse beschädigt werden.
2 Provide a drip-loop at the bottom of the low-loss cable just before it enters the building.
3 Prior to securing the cable along its complete length, refer to
Optimizing Outdoor Point-to-Point
Antenna Placement on page 40. If required, adjust the direction of the antenna.
4 After fully testing the installation, tighten the antenna mounting nuts to lock the antenna into its position.
Caution
To prevent damage, avoid over-tightening the connectors, nuts, and screws used to mount the antenna.
Precaución: evite apretar demasiado los conectores, tuercas y tornillos usados para instalar la antena, para no dañarlos.
Achtung: Beugen Sie Schaden vor, indem Sie die Anschlüsse, Muttern und Schrauben für die Antenne nicht zu fest anziehen.
5 Secure the cable along its complete length. Do not allow any part of the cable to hang free.
6 Using waterproof stretch tape, seal all outdoor connectors.
Optimizing Outdoor Point-to-Point Antenna Placement
If an AP is connected to an outdoor directional antenna, the antenna must point directly at the antenna for the other AP. A misaligned antenna can decrease the signal level or prevent communications.
Aligning an omni-directional antenna is less critical due to its wide radiation pattern. For optimal performance, make sure the antennas are properly aligned by using a pair of binoculars to point the antennas at each other.
Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance is required for each lightning protector in your outdoor antenna installation.
Maintenance involves replacing the lightning protector at some interval depending on the lightning/ transient discharge activity in your area.
Note
Contact a local antenna installation company to determine the maintenance schedule for each lightning protector in your outdoor antenna installation.
