CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA
Connecting Third Party External Antenna
The MicroMAX-SOC BSR model without a built-in antenna provides an N-type port for connecting a
third-party external antenna. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage
than the standard MicroMAX-SOC BSR built-in antenna model.
Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the MicroMAX-SOC is
not connected to the power source.
Warning: Before powering on the MicroMAX-SOC, ensure that some type of equipment
such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type receptacle. This eliminates
the risk of irreversibly damaging the MicroMAX-SOC device.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the MicroMAX-SOC to ensure
that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other
than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden.
Warning: The external antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Warning: The MicroMAX-SOC and external antenna should be installed ONLY by
experienced installation professionals who are familiar with the local building and safety codes
and are licensed by the appropriate government authorities.
Note: The MicroMAX-SOC model that provides an N-type connector for attaching a third-
party external antenna does not contain an internal, built-in antenna.
The following lists the cable setup for attaching the external antenna:
Cable: RF coaxial
Connector: N-type male
To connect a third-party external antenna to the MicroMAX-SOC:
Connect the N-type male connector of the third-party antenna to the N-type receptacle
located on the MicroMAX-SOC's panel (labeled ANTENNA), as displayed below.
