Mounting and grounding 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 Use installation kit 123-0100-0130 to install the base station to a wall or back board. The
kit supplies a bracket and hardware that are necessary to mount the base station.
b 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).
c 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.
2 Drill mounting holes into the surface, according to the dimensions shown in Figure 6.9.
3 To attach the base station to a wall, use the mounting brackets. Install them on the base
station first, then attach the brackets to the wall. To attach the brackets to the base station,
use 5/16 inch x 18 inch UNC thread bolts and a lock washer which are supplied in the
installation kit. Use the optional bolts to then attach the bracket to the surface.
