These steps outline the basic tasks required to complete a successful installation at each tower
location. Specific steps will vary, depending upon the requirements of the system design and the
conditions each site.
Details regarding specific steps are found in dedicated topics, as noted.
Optimum network performance can only be achieved through careful planning. Most successful
networks deploy multiple transmission sites, in a triangular overlapping-cell pattern, as shown.
Before beginning the installation steps, the installer should carefully read all of the work orders,
blueprints, plans, datasheets, and site drawings to determine work to be done, and then plan out
the deployment.

CN3200 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 3.3
Antenna Alignment
Correct orientation and tilt of the antennas is the most critical part of the installation.
Alignment of the antennas consists of two steps, azimuth orientation (horizontal) and mechanical
tilt adjustment (vertical).
Antenna Azimuth
Azimuth is the horizontal orientation of the antenna on the horizon. The antenna is installed in the
desired azimuth direction.
Compass directions are measured in degrees, with North = 0° (or 360°), East = 90°, South = 180°, and
West = 270°, as shown on the compass rose.
Antenna Tilt
Tilt of the antenna is the vertical angle of the antenna in relation to the horizon. It is also referred to
as elevation or inclination of the antenna.
The angle of elevation is measured in positive or negative degrees, with an angle above the horizon
being positive and below the horizon being negative.
Tilt is used when antenna radiation must be redirected to concentrate the energy in a new
direction. Downward tilt (downtilt) is most common. Inclination up, called uptilt, is very rare and
only used in extreme cases.
Antenna tilt is typically adjusted to zero degrees. The site installation plan indicates any deviation
from the normal zero inclination for each antenna.

These steps outline the basic tasks required to complete a successful installation.
Your specific steps will depend upon the requirements of your system design.
When multiple antennas are installed on the tower, mast, or other support structure, each antenna
is installed at the same height (vertical level), using standard installation practice. On a tower
structure, mount the antennas on a vertical or horizontal member.
Most towers have only three tower legs. When installing four antennas, consider the required
degree separation for the desired coverage. Determine which tower leg will best accommodate two
of the antennas that will not interfere mechanically with the two antennas mounted on the other
two tower legs.
Antenna Azimuth Adjustment
Mount the antenna in the desired azimuth direction, as shown in the site plan.
Use a magnetic compass to determine the optimum mounting location, and then mount the
antenna into place. If a physical compass is not available, a free smart phone compass app can also
be used.
After mounting, again use the compass to ensure that the antenna azimuth is correct. Do not fully
tighten the mount until completing the mechanical tilt adjustment.
Mechanical Tilt Adjustment
Before fully tightening the mounting bolts, measure and adjust the tilt of the antenna with an
inclinometer positioned against the back of the antenna.
Installation Example
After installing the cable, each antenna is then installed and oriented as required by the network
site plan. The rest of the equipment is then installed and connected. This example assumes that the
xMax Network tower is located at 90° (degrees) magnetic in relation to the CN3200 location.
The steps in this example assume that two antennas, one xMax one 2.4 GHz, are to be installed.
1. Install the CN3200 / xMax antenna array.
2. Adjust the azimuth (horizontal orientation) of the antenna to a compass reading of 90° (degrees)
magnetic.
3. Measure and adjust the tilt of the antenna to 0° with an inclinometer positioned against the
back of the antenna. Securely tighten all mounting bolts.
4. Install the 2.4 GHz antenna within 18 inches of the CN3200 mounting location.
28
CN3200 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 3.3

SCOPE OF THE WARRANTY
Unless a different period is specified for a particular hardware Product, or in a sales agreement
between xG and customer, or in the published specification sheet for the hardware Product, xG's
hardware Products are generally warranted against defects in workmanship and materials for a
period of twelve (12) months from the date of original purchase, provided the Product remains
unmodified and is operated under normal and proper conditions. Unless otherwise so provided the
warranty period for computer programs in machine-readable form included in a hardware Product,
which are essential for the functionality will be coincident with the warranty period of the
hardware Product. Software patches, bug fixes or workarounds do not extend the original warranty
period. For Software sold by xG and run outside the hardware Product (e.g. xMSC), the warranty
term is 90 days from date of original purchase. All accessories (e.g. antennas, cables, power supply,
POE) carry a warranty term of 90 days from date of original purchase.
The Limited Warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the Product from xG, or its
authorized Resellers, and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser or enduser.
xG’s warranty applies only to a Product that is manufactured by or for xG Technology and is
identified within xG’s price book at time of purchase . Any products not covered by xG’s warranty,
but supplied under the customer's Purchase Order with xG as part of the delivered equipment, are
covered under that manufacturer's standard warranty and any warranty claims should be handled
directly with that manufacturer.
xG’s warranty shall not apply: (i) to any Product subjected to accident, misuse, neglect, alteration,
acts of God, improper handling, improper transport, improper storage, improper use or application,
improper installation, improper testing or unauthorized repair; (ii) use of parts or accessories not
approved or supplied by xG, or failure to perform operator handling and scheduled maintenance
instructions supplied by xG or (iii) to cosmetic problems or defects that result from normal wear
and tear under ordinary use, and do not affect the performance or use of the Product.
If the Product develops a covered defect within the warranty period, xG will, at its option, either
repair or replace the Product found by xG to be defective or not in conformity with material
specifications, provided that the Product is returned during the warranty period.
38
CN3200 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7604 - Release 3.3
Customer is responsible for shipment to xG (or authorized service provider) and assumes all costs
and risks associated with this transportation; return shipment to the Customer will be at xG’s
expense. Customer shall be responsible for return shipment charges for Product returned where xG
determines there is no defect ("No Defect Found"), or for Product returned that xG determines is
not eligible for warranty repair. No charge will be made to customer for replacement parts for
warranty repairs.

available, or a workaround to bypass the issue, if available; and (c) where applicable, replacement
of damaged or defective external media, such as a CD-ROM disk, on which the software was
originally delivered. xG does not warrant that the use of the software will be uninterrupted, error-
free, free of security vulnerabilities, or that the software will meet Customer’s particular
requirements. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty is, at Seller's
option, to receive (i) suitably modified software, or part thereof, or (ii) comparable replacement
software or part thereof.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS OF THE WARRANTY
Because it is impossible for xG to know the purposes for which the purchaser acquired this Product
or the uses to which this Product will be put, the purchaser assumes full responsibility for the
selection of the Product for its installation and use. While every reasonable effort has been made
to insure that the purchaser will receive a Product that can be used and enjoyed, xG does not
warrant that the functions of the Product will meet the purchaser’s requirements or that the
operation of the Product will be uninterrupted or error-free. xG is not responsible for problems
caused by the interaction of the Product with any other software or hardware.
