3. Drill four holes in the wall that match the screws and wall plugs included in the bracket kit,
then secure the bracket to the wall.
4. Use the included nuts to tightly secure the MP-622 to the bracket.
Connecting External Antennas
For some applications, when deploying an MP-622, you must mount external antennas and
connect them to the unit. Typically, access point operation requires a 2.4 GHz antenna, and bridge
link operation requires a 5.0 GHz antenna.
The primary port for 802.11bg (2.4Ghz) is port 1 and the primary port for 802.11a is Port 3. The
MP-622 supports one or two antennas connected to each band. If you install one antenna it must
be installed in the primary port. If you install two antennas they must be the same antenna model.
There are no additional configuration requirements for adding the second antenna. If antenna
diversity between the two antennas is a desired option it must be configured.
The default for the 802.11bg radio is ANT-1360-OUT.

ANT-5360-OUT | ANT-5120-OUT | ANT-5PNL-OUT}
The antenna-location must be either indoors or outdoors. Placing and configuring one antenna
indoors and the other outdoors is not allowed.

To connect external antennas follow these steps:
1. Mount the external antenna to the same supporting structure as the MP-622, within 10 ft (3
m) distance, using the bracket supplied in the antenna package.
2. If you are installing the optional lightning arrestor for an outdoor antenna, perform the
following steps. Otherwise, skip to step 3.
a. Solder the ground wire to the ground-wire terminal lug supplied with the lightning arrestor.
Trapeze Networks recommends that you use 6-gauge cable for the ground wire. The ground
wire must be properly earthed in order to provide adequate protection.
