Mounting the airPoint-PRO TOTAL
Attach the mounting arm of the airPoint-PRO TOTAL unit with the 2pcs of U bolts to the
pipe. Make sure to tighten both top and bottom U bolts, with nuts and spring washers.
Tighten the nuts so that the mounting arm does not rotate on the pipe. Use the external
toothed washer between the cabinet bracket and the mounting arm. Use the internal
toothed washer with the nut to ensure the TOTAL is tightly held in place.
The airPoint-PRO TOTAL has a high gain in-built directional antenna. Depending on the
required signal polarity, use the correct fin for Vertical / Horizontal polarization. Please
note that the vertical polarity is indicated on the backside of the device. Mount the unit on
the mounting arm with the 1/4" bolt, spring washer and nut and tighten.
Adjust the azimuth angle of the airPoint-PRO TOTAL unit by rotating the mounting arm
above the pipe. Adjust the elevation / tilt angle of the airPoint-PRO TOTAL unit by rotating
the around the fin.
Use the correct azimuth and the elevation angle to point the airPoint-PRO TOTAL unit
towards the remote transmission tower.
Use the Antenna alignment mode in the simpleMonitor software to maximize the received
signal strength for the unit.
Mounting the Antenna:
Follow the mounting instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer and mount the
antenna on the steel pipe.
Antenna should be mounted on the same pipe as the
airPoint-PRO TOTAL and positioned above it. The height of the antenna and direction
should be in the direction of the Client devices. The antenna socket of the airPoint-PRO
TOTAL and the antenna input have to be connected by an RG 8 N Male to N Male cable.
Cabling:
The airPoint-PRO TOTAL is terminated a weatherproof RJ45 female connector for
outdoor use. Refer to the cable and connector installation instructions placed inside the
weatherproof connector for more information. The user can connect required length of
suitable ethernet cable to connect the airPoint-PRO TOTAL to the user's PC / Network.
Use the external toothed washer between the cabinet bracket and the mounting arm.
Use the internal toothed washer with the nut to ensure the TOTAL is tightly held in place.
