3-22 Configuring, Installing, and Using Base Stations
Mounting the base station
You can mount the base station to any surface. To mount the base station to a
wall, you need to use the supplied mounting brackets. If you are installing the base
station on a tower, you need to use mounting plates, which you need to acquire
from another equipment supplier.
Mounting the base station to a wall
To mount the base station to a wall:
1 Find a surface suited to base station installation.
a Plan to install the base station vertically, so the antenna connector is at the
top (facing skyward), and the other circular connectors are at the bottom
(facing the ground).
b Make sure the area above and below the location where you want to install
the base station has a good distance for clearance. This clearance allows for
proper air circulation and heat flow from the heat sink fins on the back of the
base station. The clearance also allows for the coaxial cable and the other
cable connections.
