Introduction
About This Guide 1
This

explains how to install and set up a RoamAbout Outdoor Antenna
link. Information is also provided to verify the wireless link quality
and correct any problems that may arise during installation or
operation.

Who Should Use This Guide 1
The installation of Outdoor Antenna Links requires technical
expertise. At the very least, you should be able to:
• Install and configure the network components, such as the
RoamAbout Access Point and the RoamAbout Access Point
Manager.
• Mount the outdoor antenna and lightning protector. Cabletron
Systems recommends that the installation is performed by a
qualified antenna installation service.
