Mounting on a Pole or Mast
The antenna can be mounted on a pole or mast using two hose clamps.
Note
To mount the antenna on a pole or mast, follow these steps.
Follow steps 1 and 2 from the
Step 1
Position and mount the mounting flange
Step 2
in the kit. The hose clamps should pass through the slots on the mounting flange
Tighten the clamps only enough to hold the flange and antenna in place until the antenna is positioned
Step 3
to its final position.
Assemble the antenna and bracket to the flange as shown in
Step 4
Position the antenna, mounting bracket, and hose clamps on the mast.
Step 5
Tighten the hose clamps until the antenna is fully secure on the mast. Ensure that the antenna cannot
Step 6
rotate about the mast.
After the antenna is secured on the mast, adjust the azimuth and elevation.
Step 7
To adjust the azimuth and elevation, use a 1/2 in. (13-mm) wrench to loosen the adjustment bolts.
Azimuth can be adjusted ±25 degrees and elevation can be adjusted ±60 degrees.
After you adjust the antenna position, tighten the adjustment bolts. Tighten all bolts to 18.7 +/- 5 lb-ft
Step 8
(25.4 Nm).
Connect the antenna cables to the access point. The antenna ports are labeled A through D, from left to
Step 9
right. Connect the antenna port A to connector A on the access point, antenna port B to connector B on
the access point, and so on. See the
Suggested Cable
Cisco recommends a high-quality, low-loss cable for use with the antenna, such as Cisco
AIR-CAB005LL-R-N= (5 ft low-loss cable with RP-TNC and N-type connectors) for AP3702P, or
AIR-CAB005LL-N= or AIR-CAB010LL-N= (5 ft and 10 ft N-type connectors, respectively) for
AP1570. Four cables are required.
Coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be
Note
kept as short as possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the
run, the greater the loss).

section for cable recommendations.
The pole or mast must be rigid enough to hold the weight of the antenna plus the associated
forces produced by wind loads. In addition, the mast must be structurally strong enough to
withstand the clamping force of the hose clamps.
