Connecting to an AP
Connector types
All ICCN APs come with connectors that are
N-Type Female, meaning that all cable
connectors must be N-Type Male. N-Type female connector
Example:
ICX20UAD-V2
ICCN AP connectors are all N-Type Female
ANT-OMNI-12 and ANT-DISH-24 have N-
Type Female connectors.
When using the ANT-Omni-12 and ANT-
DISH-24 you must use an N-Type MALE
supported cable, as on the ANT-CABLE-4
ANT-CABLE-4
4 ft LMR 240 cable with
N-Type Male connectors
Cable sold separately

ANT-245GHZ
The ANT-245GHZ is a male direct
connect antenna and does NOT require
a cable to connect to any ICCN AP.

ANT-245GHZ
Connecting this small 2.4GHz/5GHz antenna
is very simple since it connects directly to the
AP.
Attach the antenna by matching
it to the N-Type female
connector on the AP and turning
clockwise.
Make sure not to strip the
grooves by inserting the antenna
crooked and using too much
torque when completing the
installation. The antenna should
be hand tightened.

Once completed, the installation
should be a device with external
antennas that are straight and secure.
NOTE: These devices are already
water proof but for added protection
the user can cover with black rubber
backing linerless insulating electrical
tape (not vinyl or plastic tape). This
could be used to secure the connector
region (silver section) to completely
cover the N-Type Male and Female
connectors.

ANT-OMNI-12
Connecting this 3 ft Omni directional antenna requires the use of an
LMR cable to connect to the access point.
Connecting to an AP
The ICX20UAD-EXT is the only AP to use any ANT series antenna because it
has external 5GHz connectors.
Assembly will require the ICX20UAD-EXT, a pair of ANT-CABLE-4 and one
ANT-OMNI-12.
The ICX20UAD-EXT is the only AP to use any ANT series antenna because it
has external 5GHz connectors.
Assembly will require the ICX20UAD-EXT, a pair of ANT-CABLE-4 and one
ANT-OMNI-12.
The ANT-OMNI-12 is
typically mounted
outdoors.
The ANT-CABLE-4
connects to either
Horizontal (H) or Vertical
(V) connectors. It does not
matter which is connected
to which.
Connect the ICX20UAD-
EXT to the cable leading
from the antenna.
The ANT-OMNI-12 is for 5GHz
connection only and must connect to
the two 5GHz connector ports on the
unit.

NOTE: Since these devices will
be used outdoors, best practice
would be to use electrical tape
and secure the connector region
(silver section) to completely
cover the N-Type Male and
Female connectors

ANT-DISH-24
Connecting this 17 inch directional dish antenna requires the use of an LMR
cable to connect to the access point.
Connecting to an AP
The ICX20UAD-EXT is the only AP to use any ANT series antenna because it

Mounting options
ANT-DISH-24
Before mounting the ANT-DISH-24, the antenna must be assembled.
See below for the quick and easy steps for assembly.
L-Bracket
The cone is placed through the front of the dish. Be very careful not to scratch the
grey coating. Use the long screws to secure the cone in place.
Mount the L-shaped bracket at the rear of the unit making sure to match the
bracket holes to the screws.
Nose cone Washer and Nuts
Screws
At the base
of the dish
Final step is to add washers
and nuts to secure all the
pieces together. The final
assembly will look like the
image to the right.

Mounting options
ANT-DISH-24
To connect the ANT-DISH-24 to a pole, simply add the U-bolt
assembly and pole bracket.
Connect the U-bolt through the pole bracket. Fit the assembly
around the pole then into the L-bracket on the antenna. Use
the included screws for the U-bolts to lock the antenna in
place.
Connect the U-bolt through the pole bracket. Fit the assembly
