Connecting External Antennas to the Repeater

Once the repeater, and both external antennas have been attached to a pole and posi-
tioned, the antennas should be attached to the respective antenna cables in the wireless
repeater enclosure. To do this:
1. Thread each antenna cable into the individual black cable grommets at the bottom of

the shelter to provide weather-resistant entrances for cables. Make sure that there is
one antenna cable per grommet.
For identification purposes, the transmitting antenna cable should be threaded through
the grommet on the left side and the receiving cable on the right side to align with the
antenna cable connectors on the repeater board.

2. Unscrew the cable clamps and thread each antenna cable through.

3. Connect the transmitting antenna cable to the transmitting repeater connector.
4. Connect the receiving antenna cable to the receiving repeater connector.
5. Once all the antennas are mounted and connected to the repeater, test communication.
