Step 1: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the unit, you must find a suitable location for the hardware. The range of the unit largely depends
upon the position of the antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following requirements, before
mounting the hardware.
• The location must allow easy disconnection of the unit from the power outlet if necessary.
• The unit must not be covered and the air must be able to flow freely around the unit.
• The unit must be kept away from vibration, excessive heat, and humidity, and kept free from dust buildup.
• The installation must conform to local regulations at all times.
The units are designed to directly mount to a pole or wall. Using the supplied brackets and hardware, you can mount
them to a 1.25 inch to 4.5-inch pole (outside diameter). Using just one of the mounting brackets, you can mount the units
to a wall or other flat surface.
CAUTION: Proxim recommends the use of a lightning arrestor at the building ingress point. You can purchase the
Proxim Lightning Protector MP.11/QB.11 (70251); see the documentation that comes with the unit for more
information and installation instructions.
