8. Remove the nut and the lock washer from the bottom of the antenna, and then insert the
stem of the antenna into the port on the top of the enclosure.

thread the nut onto the stem. Use a wrench to tighten the nut sufficiently to ensure that the
antenna makes good contact with the outside of the enclosure.

facing down. Thread the coax connector that is attached to the antenna cable onto the stem
of the antenna and hand-tighten it.

enclosure and use the screws provided to secure the board to the enclosure.

the controller’s display board.

controller.
14. Reposition the black plastic cover over the controller PCA board, and then secure it with the
two screws.

Step 2 – Check Your Firmware Version & Update if
Necessary
BaseStation 1000 controllers running firmware version 1.8 and higher have integrated support for
Wi-Fi communication. If your controller is running firmware version 1.7 or lower, you will need to
download a firmware update onto a USB drive from the Baseline web site.
To check the version of firmware on your controller
1. On the BaseStation 1000, press the System Setup button. The System Setup menu displays.
2. Press the  button to highlight the Firmware
Update option, and then press the OK button
to select it. The Firmware Update menu
displays.
3. The USB Update option should be
highlighted. If it is not highlighted, press the

button to highlight it, and then press the
OK button to select it.
The USB Update screen displays the current firmware version at the top. If your controller is
running firmware version 1.7 or lower, you will need to download a firmware update onto a
USB drive from the Baseline web site, and then install it on your controller.
