Hardware Installation Manual 4. Attaching the Wi-Fi Antennas
4 Attaching the Wi-Fi Antennas
The device is shipped with two unattached Wi-Fi antennas. You can attach any number of
these antennas, according to your network requirements. Once attached, you can position
each antenna in the vertical and/or horizontal plane for optimal transmission and reception.
Notes:
•Attach antennas before mounting the device; you may have difficulty
attaching the antennas once the device is mounted.
•This section is applicable only for models ordered with the Wi-Fi
functionality.
To attach the Wi-Fi antennas:
1. Manually screw the antennas on to the SMA coaxial RF connector located on the rear
panel, as shown in the figure below:
Figure 4-1: Attaching Antennas on Rear Panel
2. Orient the antennas as desired for optimal wireless performance. The antenna can be
orientated in the vertical and horizontal planes. For best performance, it is
recommended that the antennas be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the floor. In other
words, orient the antennas straight up.
