(Optional) Mounting and Connecting the 5GHz External Antennas
Step 2: Attach the Dynamic Bracket to the Access Point
NOTE: If you have not yet determined the optimal orientation for your Access Point, refer
to “Determine the Optimal Mounting Location and Orientation”
on page 10 for orienta-
tion guidelines.
7. Using a 10mm ratchet wrench, tighten the hex bolts to fix the Access Point’s orientation.
Screw torque value must be 0.6-0.8 Newton meter (Nm).
You have completed mounting the Access Point.
9 (Optional) Mounting and Connecting the
5GHz External Antennas
If you want to extend the range of your wireless network, you can connect 5GHz 14dBi (or
lower) external antennas to the standard N-type female connectors on the Access Point.
WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace,
or service this equipment.
WARNING: Before connecting the 5GHz antennas to the Access Point, make sure that
you disconnect the Access Point from the power source.
1. Disconnect the Access Point from the power source.
2. Unscrew the metal caps that protect the antenna connectors. Place the metal caps in
a safe place, in case you need them later.
3. Connect the 5GHz antennas to the standard N-type female antenna connectors on the
Access Point.
If the 5GHz antennas come with RF coaxial cables (for example, a patch antenna), do
the following:
a. Physically mount the patch antenna at your desired location, preferably on the same
supporting mounting structure as the Access Point.
b. Connect the RF coaxial cables to the two standard N-type female connectors on
the Access Point.
4. Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent water and dirt
from entering the Access Point.
5. Reconnect the Access Point to the power source.
