hole on the Altitude 300-2 should line up with the lock hasp hole on the universal mounting bracket
when the unit is slid all the way forward (Figure 5).
3 Lock and secure the Altitude 300-2. The Altitude 300-2 and the universal mounting bracket are
designed to use a Master Lock 120T or similarly sized padlock to secure the wireless port from theft
or removal from the bracket (Figure 5).
WARNING!
The Altitude 300-2 is not secured to the bracket unless a padlock is used. If a padlock is not used the
unit should be secured to the bracket by a cable tie through the lock hasp to keep it from falling. Failure
to secure the unit is hazardous.
4 For wall and ceiling installations skip this step. For table and shelf installations, attach the stick-on
feet. The Altitude 300-2 kit comes with four stick-on feet for use when the unit is installed on top of
a table or shelf. The feet are not needed for wall and ceiling installations.
WARNING!
The stick-on feet have not been tested for use in a plenum space. Do not use them for
above-the-ceiling installations.
5 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Altitude 300-2 and to a powered, 10/100BaseT Ethernet cable from
a Summit 300-48.
NOTE
While the Altitude 300-2 uses standard 10/100BaseT signals and PoE power, it should only be
connected to a Summit 300-48 port for the proper operation of the management and configuration
features of the Extreme Networks Unified Access System.
6 (Optional) Connect the computer cable lock. If the universal mounting bracket is not used, the
Altitude 300-2 can be locked with a computer cable. The unit has a standard computer cable lock
hole located at the rear of the box (Figure 1).
7 For the Altitude 300-2i skip to step 8. For the Altitude 300-2d, connect the external antennas
(Figure 2). The unit should be located within the reach of the antenna cables. The large RP-TNC
connectors are used for 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g antennas and the small RP-SMA connectors are used for 5
GHz 802.11a antennas. Two connectors of each type are supplied to support antenna diversity. When
this step is completed, go to step 10.
8 Attach the antenna shrouds (Altitude 300-2i). If the plastic cover is to be used, attach the antenna
shrouds to the antennas (Figure 8).
9 Adjust the Integrated antennas, Altitude 300-2i. The Altitude 300-2i is equipped with two integrated
dual band antennas that connect to both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios. Selecting the proper angle
for the antennas is important to achieve the best performance from the system. For this reason the
Altitude 300-2i is equipped with antennas that can be rotated. Once the proper angle has been set,
the Altitude 300-2i is outfitted with antenna shrouds that work with the plastic cover to lock in the
proper angle. This prevents the antennas from being accidentally misaligned after installation.
10 (Optional) Attach the optional plastic cover to the box (Figure 9). After the cover has been secured,
push on each antenna to make sure its shroud is locked in position. This ensures that the teeth on
the shroud are engaged with the teeth on the cover.
