Installation Notes
Note This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other
structure you intend to mount your antenna on.
The following sections contain procedures for installing the antenna. Choose the procedure that applies
to your situation. Use figure 1 as a guide.
Mounting the Antenna
The antenna is provided with a mounting kit consisting of a mounting bracket and hose clamp. This kit
allows you to mount the antenna to masts from 1.25 inches (3.2 centimeters) to 2 inches (5.1
centimeters). Cisco recommends that a 1.5 inch (3.8 centimeter) or larger tubing mast be used.
The antenna is vertically polarized. Since the antenna has vertical gain, it is very important to mount the
antenna in a vertical (not leaning) position for optimal performance.
Follow these steps to mount the antenna on a mast.
Step 1 Position the antenna, mounting bracket, and hose clamp on the mast as shown in figure 1.
