Operation
To install an antenna to a mast or structure, follow the antenna manufacturer’s instructions. The module
and antenna should be installed in a safe and secure manner using industry practices.
Important! The Universal Mounting Bracket available from Motorola (part number SMMB-1 and
consisting of a mounting bracket and L-shaped aluminum tube) is designed for holding one Canopy
module. It is not designed for holding both the module and a connectorized antenna.
Important! Use of connectorized antennas requires professional installation. The professional installer
is responsible for
• Selection of an antenna approved for use with the Canopy 900 MHz AP and SM by the national
regulatory agency
• Setting of the gain consistent with the antenna and within regulatory limits
• Use of moisture sealing tape or wrap to increase long-term reliability of the connectorized
connection
Enter the dBi gain of your antenna in the Antenna Gain parameter on the AP Configuration page, as shown
in Figure 1: Highlights of 900 MHz AP Configuration Page.
