General communications equipment, infrastructure, and facilities site design should be
performed in line with Motorola’s Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites
(also known as the R56 manual) available from: https://motorolawls.

A short coaxial cable from the radio terminates in a male N connector. The antenna has a
chassis - mounted female N connector. The antenna includes tower mount brackets with
adjustable down - tilt.
Installing an AP typically consists of the following phases:
1. Configure the AP at an operator's facility or at the installation site using the information
and settings defined in the Planning and Configuring sections of the PMP 320
Administration and Configuration .
2. Assemble the AP (radio, antenna, and brackets) and physically install it using
Procedure 2 - 1 . A CMM4 is typically installed at the same time, if not previously installed.
3. Cable the AP to the CMM4 and ground it to Protective Earth – PE using Procedure 2 - 2 .
4. This phase can also include cabling to backhauls, or running terrestrial feeds.
5. Confirm operation, using CSMs in the field.
Local practices and choices of installation options will dictate the actual processes. F or example,
variations on these generalized procedures can be used to install on a building or install multiple
AP s on a pipe mount before hoisting up a tower for final attachment.
Assembling the AP and attaching to a tower
Review the following parts identification graphics to ensure that all the top pipe clamp assembly
brackets parts are present before beginning the installation. Refer to Figure 2 - 1 and Figure 2 - 2
to see the parts that make up the antenna and A P .
