Installing the Link CX 53
4-3.2 Attaching the Link CX to the Mounting Bracket
Selecting the Link CX Integral Antenna Polarization
When the Link CX is equipped with an integral antenna, how it is mounted determines the horizontal or
vertical polarization. The Link CX mounting brackets are designed to preserve the selected polarization
until the Link CX is removed from its bracket.
• When the Link CX is equipped with an external antenna, skip this section and continue with
Step 24.
• See Figure 4-11. The Link CX case is embossed with an arrow indicating the integral antenna
polarization. Point the arrow up for vertical, and sideways for horizontal polarization.
Both ends of the radio link must be identically polarized. The planned
polarization is available from the filled-out copy of the Radio Link
Planning Worksheet from Chapter Three.
