4.6. Conecting a Third-Party External Antenna
(Optional)
The BSR model with an N-type connector can be connected to an external antenna
(see Figure 4-9). The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector
coverage than the standard BSR Internal Antenna model (i.e., 60°). The BSR with
an external antenna is especially suited for base stations with one BSR, where sector
coverage can be increased to 360° by using an omni-antenna.
! Connector: N-type male

! Cable: RF
To connect the BSR to an external antenna:
1. Attach the N-type male connector to the N-type receptacle located on the BSR’s
front panel.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the external antenna.
Note: For crimping cables for N-type connectors, see Appendix B, “Cable
Crimping”.
