Installation Options

The IW-ANT-PNL5615-NS= high gain antenna can be wall or pole mounted. There are two optional mounting kits:

Cisco PID

Description

IW-ACC-PMK1=

Pole/Wall mounting bracket with tilt and rotation.

AIR-ACC1530-PMK1=

Standard Pole/Wall mount bracket

Both of these mounts are also compatible with, among others, the IW9165D access point.

To mount the antenna with the IW9165D AP, see the procedure for each mounting kit in the IW9165D Hardware Installation Guide.
