Page 17: Location Guidelines
Antenna orientation—Proper antenna orientation is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to gain and antenna height measured from the ground. The Tropos 6410 and 6420 routers have integrated antennas; therefore, antenna location and orientation depend on the location of the unit. -
Page 18: Mounting Strategies
Chapter 2 Mounting Strategies When choosing mounting locations, consider the available mounting structures and antenna clearance. The router should always be mounted with the top of the unit horizontal and level and with the antennas facing upward. It is usually best to attach ground and data cables to the router prior to mounting. Before mounting the router, review the wiring instructions in “Grounding the Router”... -
Page 19: Proper Use Of Clamps
Chapter 2 Proper Use of Clamps The mounting assembly contains two clamps to secure the router to the mounting structure. Figure 3 illustrates the proper use of the clamps. The clamps must be routed through slots in the pole bracket as shown in the figure, and then attached to the pole and tightened. The pole bracket should be leveled before it is secured to the pole. -
Page 20: Pole, Tower, And Streetlight Mounting Instructions
Chapter 2 Pole, Tower, and Streetlight Mounting Instructions This section explains how to mount the router on a pole, tower, or streetlight. It is best to mount the router to aluminum or galvanized steel structures. The mounting brackets are designed to pierce any oxidation layers that are on the outside of the pole, thereby assuring good quality connection to the grounded structure. -
