Installing an MP-620
The MP-620 includes its own bracket kit for mounting the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch
diameter steel pole or tube. The pole-mounting bracket allows the unit to be
mounted to part of a radio mast or tower structure. The unit also has a
wall-mounting bracket kit that enables it to be fixed to a building wall or roof
when using external antennas.
Hardware installation of the MP-620 involves these steps:
1 Mount the unit on a wall, pole, mast, or tower using the mounting bracket.
2 Mount external antennas on the same supporting structure as the MP-620 and
connect them to the unit.
3 Connect the Ethernet cable and a grounding wire to the unit.
4 Connect the power injector to the Ethernet cable, a local LAN switch, and an
AC power source.
Mounting the Unit
You can mount the MP-620 using either the pole-mounting bracket or the
wall-mounting bracket. Use one of the following procedures.
Using the Pole-Mounting Bracket
Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole
or tube using the mounting bracket:
1 Always attach the bracket to a pole with the open end of the mounting
grooves facing up.
2 Place the U-shaped part of the bracket around the pole and tighten the
securing nut just enough to hold the bracket to the pole. (The bracket may
need to be rotated around the pole during the alignment process.)
