Concentrator Installation
Antenna Mounting Options
The concentrator requires three antennas to communicate with the endpoints and to relay
information from the endpoint to the host application:
• Two LAN antennas
• One WAN antenna
The LAN antennas mount on the side of the antenna bracket. The WAN communications antenna
mounts on top of the enclosure or on the antenna bracket, or you can mount all three antennas
remotely from the concentrator such as at the top of a utility pole or a building parapet. If all three
antennas are mounted above the enclosure, coaxial cable connects the enclosure and the remote
antennas.
Use only Cellnet-approved antennas.
For All Installations
