Planning and Installing Wireless LANs
BreezeNET PRO.11 Series 5-20 User’s Guide
When installing a single antenna, modify the transmit diversity option to
either antenna 1 or antenna 2, according to the antenna being used (refer to
section 3.4.3).
5.3.3.5 Antenna Polarization
Antenna polarization must be the same at either end of the link. In most
applications, the preferred orientation is vertical polarization. Above-ground
propagation of the signal is better when it is polarized vertically. To verify
antenna polarization, refer to the assembly instructions supplied with the
antenna set.
5.3.4. Antenna Seal
When using outdoor antennas, you must seal the antenna connectors against
rain. Otherwise the antennas are not suitable for use in outdoor installations.
5.3.5. Cell Size
Cell size is determined by the maximum possible distance between the
Access Point and the Station Adapter, usually related to point-to-multipoint
installations using external antennas. For open outdoor areas with an
unobstructed line of sight between the Access Point and the BreezeNET
PRO.11 workstation, the suggested maximum distance between Access
Point and workstation is:
Standard AP-10 PRO.11 ..............................700m (2000 ft.)
