• Option B: Wall or Concrete Mount
On a side building mount, position the router 5 to 10 feet below the antenna.
Then, attach the SPEEDLAN router to the wall or concrete by using the
concrete or wood mounting screws. Make sure it is securely mounted on the
wall.
Step 4. Running and Securing All Cable
The installation kit includes two cables with ready-made connectors to fit your particular
installation needs such as:
• 3’ RF cable
• 10' antenna cable (attaches to antenna one end and to lightning arrestor other
end)
• Lightning arrestor (attaches to pigtail and to antenna cable)
a) Attach the 3’ RF cable to the RF port on the SPEEDLAN 9102 or 9103 router.
b) Attach the 10' length of cable to the antenna. Next, attach the lightning
arrestor to the lower end of the antenna cable.
c) Attach the other end of lightning arrestor to 3’ RF cable.
d) Run the main length of the specialized outdoor Ethernet cable from the router
to the indoor junction box located inside the building.
e) Secure the cable (i.e., to the pole) with zip ties or cable clamps during this
procedure.
Note: When running the cable through walls or obstructions, make sure that there is
ample room for the connector to pass through the opening without being damaged.
Also, do not create extra pressure that would cause the cable to kink or be stretched or
cut (i.e., pulling cable through tight locations).
f) Create a proper weatherproofing seal on all outdoor connections by wrapping
it with electrical tape and sealing it with putty. This is the most crucial step of
the installation. If this procedure is not completed, long-term and complex
problems could occur. For more information on implementing this procedure,
see Weatherproofing Connectors, page 2-21.
