Mounting the LigoPTP 5-23 UNITY
Mounting bracket of LigoPTP 5-23 UNITY is designed to make installation on a wall or a pipe easy.
The unit is attached and its position is fixed with the single bolt.
Mounting on a Pole
The PTP units are supplied with mounting hardware for pole with diameters in the range 10mm to
70mm installations. Follow the steps for LigoPTP5-23 UNITY installation on a pole:
Step 1. Make sure that the unit is powered-off.
Step 2. Ground the unit. The unit must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. The
grounding wire must be attached to the grounding stud on the unit.
If the unit is attached to a metal pole which is earth-grounded, no further grounding is
required.
Step 3. Connect the unit to the bracket together and tighten up with the screws:
It is recommended not to tighten the unit’s mounting bracket details until the alignment
process of the antenna is complete.
Step 4. Attach the mounting bracket and the pole clamp with the bolts and nuts. The clamp’s
orientation will differ according the pole’s diameter as displayed below:
Step 5. Power-up the unit.
It is recommended to use shielded Ethernet cable to reduce exposure of the
electromagnetic noise.

Step 6. Run the Antenna Alignment tool on Web management interface or on OLED display
and move the antenna in the horizontal and vertical planes until the maximum RSSI
visible on the Antenna Alignment graph is achieved.
Avoid standing directly in front of an operating antenna while aligning.

Step 7. After the maximal RSSI is reached, tighten the unit’s bracket in the optimum position.
Mounting on a Wall
The mounting bolts for unit installation on the wall are not included in the package.
For mounting LigoPTP 5-23 UNITY unit on the wall, first mount one half of the bracket to the wall and
