Mounting the Omni-Directional Antenna
To avoid signal reflection, you should not install the antenna to the side of a building.
The RoamAbout 7 dBi omni-directional antenna kit includes a metal backing plate, two
hose clamps, and a nut and lockwasher. Refer to Figure 3-5 and perform the following:
1. Insert the threaded portion of the antenna mounting base (A) through the top of the
mounting bracket (B).
2. Ensure that the antenna fits snug into the metal mounting bracket by tightening the
screw on the mounting bracket (F).
3. Secure the antenna to the metal mounting bracket.
4. Slide the clamp (G) over the mast. Secure both sides of the metal mounting bracket
with antenna to the mast (I) using the washer, lockwasher, and nut (H).
Avoid overtightening.
5. Install the washer (C), lock washer (D), and nut (E) to the bottom of the antenna base.
6. Connect the antenna cable (J) to the threaded portion of the antenna mounting base.
7. Connect the antenna cables as described in the “Connecting the Antenna Cables”
