how to install engenius--indoor-external-antenna

• Power off the EnGenius base station and disconnect it from any power source before beginning installation.
• Identify a suitable mounting location for the external antenna—preferably a high, unobstructed spot such as near a window or exterior wall to minimize indoor interference and maximize line-of-sight potential.
• Mount the external antenna securely using standard mounting hardware supplied with the kit or compatible mounting accessories. Ensure the antenna is oriented according to the planned coverage area for best signal propagation.
• Route the 20-meter LMR-400 coaxial cable from the antenna to the base station location. Keep runs tidy and away from potential sources of interference, power cables, or metal obstructions that could impact signal quality.
• Connect the coaxial cable to the corresponding port on the base station, ensuring a snug, secure connection. Reconnect power and power up the base station to verify the link and monitor signal levels.
• Test voice quality, range, and reliability. If needed, adjust antenna angle or height to optimize coverage in the target areas.
