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 integrated 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 mount directly to a 1” - 1.5” pole (not included) using the supplied band clamps. An optional
universal pole mounting kit is also available from Proxim (P/N 1087-UMK); this kit is designed to mount directly to a flat
surface such as a roof, wall, or under an eave.
As the units are electrically isolated from the mounting pole, there is no need to ground the unit.
CAUTION: Local regulations may require the use of a lightning arrestor at the building ingress point. Be sure to comply
with this and all local regulations. 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.
