Additional Information for WPAN Gateway Antenna Installations

For all outdoor antenna/WPAN gateway installations, the coax shield should be grounded (earthed) in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable.

In addition, please refer to Section 820.93 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70: 2005; and EN60728-11: 2005, which provide guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specify that the coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

For indoor antenna/WPAN gateway installations, no additional considerations are required.

Installing or Replacing Antennas

Depending on the configuration you specified, the WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender could be shipped with all required antennas already installed and connected. You may need to install an antenna when you purchase an antenna separately to replace a faulty or damaged antenna.

For procedures and safety information required to install or replace antennas, see the Connected Grid Antenna Installation Guide, at: www.cisco.com/go/cg-modules.
