CAUTION:
The Outdoor Router products are designed for indoor installation. At all
times the location of the Outdoor Router unit must be indoors, to protect
the unit from extreme weather conditions, excessive heat and humidity
and to keep the unit free from vibration and dust.
Prior to mounting the Outdoor Router products you are advised to carefully
calculate:
■ The distance between the intended location of your Outdoor Router unit and
the location of the antenna mast, and
■ The height of the antenna on the mast.
If the low-loss antenna cable is not long enough to cover this distance you can
select from the following two options:
■ Select another cable length from the Lucent Technologies low-loss cable
offering (see Appendix A “The Antenna Cabling System”), or
■ Select another location that satisfies the requirements listed on the previous
page to mount your Outdoor Router device.
As the length of the antenna cable may affect the actual range of your outdoor
antenna installation, the second one is the preferred option.
!
WARNING:
You are not allowed to change the length of the Lucent Technologies
low-loss antenna cable. Shortening the cable will void the
Lucent Technologies Warranty, and may conflict with radio certifications
and/or approvals.
How to install the Outdoor Router hardware is described in the Getting Started
Guide that was shipped with the Outdoor Router device.
Placement of the Surge Arrester
The ORiNOCO Surge Arrester is an indispensable part of your outdoor antenna
installation, to protect your sensitive electronic equipment from transients or
electro-static discharges at the antenna.
