Connecting the Antenna Cable
Once the antenna is properly mounted, you can connect the antenna to the radio.
1. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna.
2. Secure the antenna cable to the mast so that the cable connectors do not support the full weight of the cable.
3. Connect the opposite end of the antenna cable to the radio.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the antenna cable and connectors, do not use tools to tighten the cable connectors.
4. Prior to securing the cable along its complete length, run the Link Test diagnostics of the management tools that come
with the unit to analyze wireless performance and optimal placement of the outdoor antenna. Use of this tool is
described in the documentation that comes with the radio unit and also can be downloaded from the Proxim support
website at http://support.proxim.com.
5. If required, adjust the direction of the antenna.
6. Once the installation has been fully tested, tighten the nuts of the antenna to lock the antenna into its position.
CAUTION: Avoid over-tightening of the connector, and the nuts and screws used to mount the antenna, to prevent
damage to your antenna and radio hardware.
7. Secure the cable along its complete length with cable ties or electrical tape to relieve strain on the antenna connector
properly. No part of any cable should be allowed to hang free. This is especially important for those parts that are
routed outside the building.
8. Proceed as described in the next section to weatherproof all outdoor connectors.
