7 Replacing Failed Access Point
The replacement must be configured exactly like the failed unit. This is normally
done in the shop prior to field installation by downloading a saved file.
Install a spare pair of brackets below and tight up against the existing mount and
align them exactly like the Access Point brackets, as shown in Figure 7-1. This
spare bracket will both prevent the AP from slipping on the pipe as the bolts are
loosened and will act as an pointer to align the new AP as well as supporting it
vertically as it is installed.

Figure 7-1: Temporary pivot bracket exactly aligned with AP bracket.
Take a ruler and measure and write down the distance of the top of the antenna
from and bracket and the bottom from the bottom bracket, as in Figures 7-2 & 7-3.
Any difference represents the amount of the antenna downtilt.
