Mounting the Vehicle-Mount Antenna

The vehicle-mount antenna is typically connected to a client in a wireless infrastructure
network. The antenna is mounted to a moving vehicle, such as a fork-lift.

1.

Drill a hole in the top of the vehicle so that the antenna connector (at the bottom of the
antenna as shown in

Figure 3-6

) but not the base fits through the hole. You can also

provide and use a bracket to install the antenna to the side of the vehicle.

2.

Remove the plastic cap from the connector.

3.

Screw the antenna to the top of the base. Finger-tighten only.

4.

Install the antenna and base to the vehicle using the hardware provided, as shown in

Figure 3-6

. Make sure that the gasket is between the antenna base and the vehicle.

5.

Use the RoamAbout pigtail connection to connect the antenna to the RoamAbout PC
Card in the client.
