Overview

Deciding which antenna to use involves many factors such as coverage area, maximum distance, indoor location, outdoor
location, and antenna height.

When antennas are used indoors, the building geometry, construction materials, ceiling height, and internal obstructions must
be considered. In outdoor environments, obstructions such as trees, vehicles, buildings, and hills must be considered.

Safety Precautions

WARNING: Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can

come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits,
as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local
codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Statement 1052

Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna. In many of these cases, the victim was
aware of the danger of electrocution, but did not take adequate steps to avoid the hazard.

Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide

WARNING: For your safety, and to help you achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions. They

may save your life!

For your safety, read and follow these safety precautions.

 If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your

Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install.

 Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the

size and type of antenna that you are about to install.

 Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job.

 Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone

lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.

 Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.

 Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned

to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue
instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

 When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:

— Do not use a metal ladder.

— Do not work on a wet or windy day.

— Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

 If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are

all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an
electrical path through the antenna and the installer.

 If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call

your local power company to have it removed safely.

 If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

Installation Requirements

This section describes the factors to consider when planning an installation:

 Installation Location

 Antenna Connections

 Optimum Performance

Installation Location

WARNING: Do not locate the outdoor antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can

come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits,
as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local
codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada:Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
Statement 1052

The location of the antenna is important. Objects such as metal columns, walls, and so on, reduce efficiency. Best performance
is achieved when antennas are mounted at the same height and in a direct line of sight with no obstructions. If this is not possible
and reception is poor, you should try different mounting positions to optimize reception.

23

Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide

If the antenna is designed to create an omnidirectional broadcast pattern, the antenna should be mounted clear of any
obstructions to the sides of the radiating element.

Antenna installation and replacement should only be performed at one of the following, certified location types:

 Cisco DF facility

 Customer premises field depot

Before installing your antenna, determine the optimum location for safety and performance. Follow these steps to determine a
safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees:

1. Measure the height of your antenna.

2. Add this length to the length of your tower or mast, then double this total for the minimum safe clearance distance from

wires, power lines, and trees.

CAUTION: If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional technical assistance for a mounting

alternative.

Antenna Connections

Before you install or replace antennas, make sure the router is:

 Powered off

 Disconnected from all power sources

 Removed from a pole-top installation

NOTE: Caps on the RF-connectors are installed to protect them from the environment. They must only be removed to install a

chassis-mounted antenna or external RF cable.

Optimum Performance

The higher your antenna is above the ground, the better it performs, generally. If your antenna is connected to the router with
external RF cables, it is good practice to install your antenna about 5 to 10 foot (1.5 to 3 meters) above the roof line and away
from all power lines and obstructions. If possible, find a mounting place directly above your wireless device so that the lead-in
cable can be as direct as possible.

Vehicle mounted antennas must be mounted on a flat surface on the roof away from any obstructions.

Antennas transmit and receive radio signals which are susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that
can reduce throughput and range of the device to which they are connected. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible
performance:

 Install the antenna vertically and mount it with the cables pointing towards the ground.

 Keep the antenna away from metal obstructions such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses, building

superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use a rigid conduit to lower the antenna away from these
obstructions.

 The density of the materials used in surrounding buildings’ construction impacts antenna signal strength. Consider the

following

— Signals penetrate paper and vinyl walls with little change to signal strength.

— Signals penetrate only one or two solid and pre-cast concrete walls without degrading signal strength.

24

Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide

— Signals penetrate three or four concrete and wood block walls without degrading signal strength.

— Signals penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood without degrading signal strength.

— Signals are likely to reflect off a thick metal wall and not penetrate it at all.

— Signals are likely to reflect off a chain link fence or a wire mesh with spaces of 1 to 1-1/2 in (2.5 to 3.8 cm).

 Microwave ovens and 2-GHz cordless phones can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency

range as the WiFi radios.

 Before installing the antenna according to the installation procedures in the following chapters, you must complete these

steps:

— Remove any plug or connector that is installed in the antenna port.

— Verify the correct antenna port for installation, based on the antenna model you are installing.

 See the installation document for your router regarding the correct antenna port location. Antennas must be installed in the

correct antenna port for ease of installation and optimal performance.

 Vehicle mounted antennas must be separated by at least 18 in (45 cm) to reduce interference between radios. A greater

separation is preferred.

General Installation Instructions for Mounting Antennas

CAUTION: For outside installations, make sure you do not mount the antenna upside down or block the bottom of the antenna

at the cable exit. The correct mounting position is with the cable pointing down (towards the ground) so that any moisture will
drain through the antenna drain holes. The antenna ships with a yellow mounting instruction label temporarily attached to the
antenna radome.

The following instructions are common to most mast mounted installations. For specific installation instructions for each
antenna, see the antenna data-sheet and the router hardware installation guide.

1. Assemble your new antenna on the ground or a level surface at the installation site.

2. Connect its coaxial cable while you are on the ground and attach the antenna to the mast.

3. Ensure that the mast does not fall as you raise or remove it. Use a durable non-conductive rope secured at each two foot

level as the mast is raised. Have an assistant tend the rope, ready to pull the mast clear of any hazards (such as power lines)
should it begin to fall.

4. Use the mounting bracket provided with the antenna.

5. If the installation will use guy wires:

a. Install guy anchor bolts.

b. Estimate the length of guy wire and cut it before raising the mast.

c. Attach guy wires to a mast using guy rings.

6. Carefully connect the antenna and mast assembly to its mounting bracket and tighten the clamp bolts.

In the case of a a guyed (tall, thin mast) installation, you must have at least one assistant to hold the mast upright while the
guy wires are attached and tightened to the anchor bolts.

7. Attach a “DANGER” label at eye level on the mast.

8. Install ground rods to remove any static electricity buildup and connect a ground wire to the mast and ground rod. Use

ground rods designed for that purpose, not a spare piece of pipe.

25

Cisco Industrial Routers and Industrial Wireless Access Points Antenna Guide

Unused Antenna Ports

Port plugs must be installed in any unused antenna ports.

The weatherproof caps on the connectors protect the router interior from environmental elements including water, heat, cold,
and dust. They are installed on unused ports before the router is shipped.

When you install a new antenna in a port with an N-connector:

 Chassis-mounted antennas—Remove the weather proof cap before installing a chassis-mounted antenna.

 External antennas—Remove weatherproof cap, then connect the supported Cisco cable to the connector.

System Requirements

The 4G-ANTM-OM-CM antenna requires a Cisco 3G EHWIC that uses a TNC-Male connector.

Installation Notes

NOTE: This antenna is designed to be mounted indoors on a ceiling. The antenna is mountable to ceiling tiles less than 1” thick

or to hard ceilings with the included installation accessories.

Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

The antenna must be mounted to a ceiling to maximize its omnidirectional propagation characteristics. Mounting it on a wall may
noticeably decrease the antenna range and overall performance.

 Wherever possible, mount the EHWIC and antenna where the wireless devices would be within sight and avoid physical

obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between antenna and EHWIC degrades the wireless radio signals.

80

Running H/F 1

Running H/F 2

 The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through

and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location to install your antenna:

— Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration.

— Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading coverage.

— Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls.

— A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood.

— A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor penetration.

 Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage

area.

 Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses,

building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away
from these obstructions.

CAUTION: Install the EHWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency bands. Microwave ovens,

cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless performance.

CAUTION: We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include networking

equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance.

Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna:

 Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin.

 If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as that of others, seek professional assistance.

Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the location where you intend to install the antenna.

 Choose your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember that electric power cables and

telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric power line until determined otherwise.

 Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables close to your mounting

location.

 When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Do dress properly: shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber

gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

 If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

WARNING: In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a minimum of 7.9

inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Statement 332

CAUTION: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001

CAUTION: This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of

a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

CAUTION: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

CAUTION: Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet

basement, or near a swimming pool. Statement 1035

81

Running H/F 1

CAUTION: Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Statement

1036

CAUTION: Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the

network interface. Statement 1037

CAUTION: To report a gas leak, do not use a telephone in the vicinity of the leak. Statement 1039

CAUTION: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come

into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits,
because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national
and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section

54). Statement 1052

CAUTION: This product is not intended to be directly connected to the Cable Distribution System. Additional regulatory

compliance and legal requirements may apply for direct connection to the Cable Distribution System. This product may connect
to the Cable Distribution System ONLY through a device that is approved for direct connection. Statement 1078

Installation Instructions

To install the Cisco 4G-ANTM-OM-CM antenna on a ceiling:

1. Drill a 3/4” diameter hole in the ceiling where you want to mount the antenna.

2. (Optional) Drill three pilot holes and insert the supplied screw anchors.

NOTE: You can secure the antenna in place using only the mounting nut. However, for additional support, you can also use

the supplied mounting screws. To use the mounting screws, you must first drill three pilot holes and insert the supplied
screw anchors in place.

a. Insert the antenna’s cable and thread through the hole you drilled in Step 1 until the base of the antenna is flush with

the ceiling.

b. Using a pencil or pen, mark the screw positions on the ceiling.

c. Remove the antenna from the ceiling.

d. Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill three holes for the screw anchors.

e. Properly insert the three screw anchors into the pilot holes.

3. Insert the antenna’s cable and thread through the hole you drilled in Step 1 until the base of the antenna is flush with the

ceiling.

4. From above the ceiling:

a. Thread the supplied flat washer through the antenna’s cable and thread.

b. Thread the supplied spring washer through the antenna’s cable and thread.

c. Thread the supplied mounting nut through the antenna’s cable.

d. Attach the mounting nut to the antenna’s thread by manually turning the nut clockwise until the antenna is secured in

place.

e. (Optional) Insert the mounting screws, then cover them with the white screw covers.

5. Connect the antenna’s cable to one of the supported extension cables.

System Requirements

The Cisco 4G/3G omnidirectional dipole antenna is designed to be used with any Cisco 4G and Cisco 3G wireless ISRs G2 and
EHWICs with a TNC antenna connector. The threads on this connector must comply with ANSI 7/16-28 UNEF 2B thread
specification. The antenna is designed to be used only indoors.

Installation Notes

This antenna is designed to be mounted directly to any Cisco 4G and Cisco 3G wireless ISR and EHWIC with a TNC connector
by simply threading it onto the mating connector. Mount and deploy the antenna at the 0-degree position, 45-degree position,
or the 90-degree position, and then change that position at will. The rotation of the antenna into the proper position can take
place while the antenna is still loose on the mating connector. No software is required for this installation.

Caution: Do not install this antenna in an outdoor environment.

In addition to the antenna orientation, the installation location of the wireless EHWIC plays a significant role in determining overall
network performance with respect to all the wireless clients. Clients at the farthest coverage points might have 10 to 50 percent
of the bandwidth available to clients close to the antenna. Wireless network coverage in one area or location might need to be
lowered to improve the performance for clients in other areas or locations.

Because antennas both transmit and receive radio signals, their performance can be adversely affected by the surrounding
environment, including physical obstructions or radio frequency (RF) interference.

94

Cisco 4G/3G Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna (4G-LTE-ANTM-D)

Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

 When used on an EHWIC, always mount the antenna on an appropriate extension cable and antenna stand. The antenna

performance will not be optimal if mounted directly to an EHWIC. Mounting directly to a fixed router (without an EHWIC) is
allowed.

 Space multiple antennas apart by at least 17 inches (43 cm). Interference may occur when placed closely together.

 Observe the radiation patterns in Figures 2 through 7 to position the antennas for best coverage.

 Wherever possible, mount the EHWIC and antenna where the wireless devices are within sight and without physical

obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between the device and the local base station will degrade the wireless radio
signals. EHWICs and antennas should be installed above floor level in office environments or near the ceiling for better
performance because most obstructions tend to be near floor level.

 The density of the materials used in a building’s construction determines the number of walls the signal must pass through

while still maintaining adequate coverage. Consider the following before choosing the location for installing your antenna:

— Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration.

— Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degradation of coverage.

— Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls.

— A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood.

— A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco wall causes signals to reflect back and causes poor penetration.

 Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone and reduce the coverage

area.

 Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts, large ceiling trusses,

building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an extension cable to relocate the antenna away
from these obstructions.

Caution: Install the EHWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency bands. Microwave ovens,

cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless performance.

Caution: We recommend avoiding installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted equipment that include networking

equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio performance.

Note: If the desired installation site has a marginally acceptable level of radiated noise emissions, consider using a

remote-mounted antenna, such as a wall-mount or ceiling-mount antenna, for better radio performance and coverage.

Safety Instructions

Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna.

Warning: In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a minimum of

7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Statement 332

Warning: This equipment must be connected to an indoor antenna only. Statement 373

 Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin.

 If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as that of others, seek professional assistance.

Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the location where you intend to install the antenna.

 Choose your installation site with both safety and performance in mind.

95

Cisco 4G/3G Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna (4G-LTE-ANTM-D)

Caution: Remember that electric power cables and telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric

power line until determined otherwise.

 Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables close to your mounting

location.

 When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Do dress properly: wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber

gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

 If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

Overview of the 4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B Antenna

Deciding which antenna to use involves multiple factors, such as coverage area, maximum distance, indoor location, outdoor
location, and antenna height.

When an antenna is used indoors, the building construction, ceiling height, and internal obstructions must be considered. In
outdoor environments, obstructions such as trees, vehicles, buildings, and hills must be considered. Distance is the primary
factor when using outdoor-wireless communications. However, coverage area also becomes important when you use wireless
client devices to communicate with a wireless device.

4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3-B antenna is an integrated 3-in-1- indoor and outdoor antenna. It comes with two Long Term Evolution
(LTE) antennas and one Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna in a single radome. Figure 1 shows the 4G-LTE-ANTM-O-3
antenna.
