Install Antennas in the

ION

1200-S

The

ION

1200-S-C-NA,

ION

1200-S-C-ROW, and

ION

1200-S-C5G-WW devices support multi-band antennas which can be easily secured to the device. The

ION

1200-S-C-NA and

ION

1200-S-C-ROW have three antenna SMA (F) connectors. The

ION

1200-S-C5G-WW has four antenna SMA (F) connectors.

Secure the antennas to the SMA connectors located at the corners of the device.
Rotate the antennas at 180-degree movement about the SMA connectors. Tighten the antennas by hand.

Adjust the antenna orientation to receive optimal signal strength in your environment.
It is recommended to conduct a cellular location assessment of the site to receive best signal strength before installing the
ION
device.
Position the antennas to receive optimal cellular signal strength. Check the signal strength on the
ION
device by viewing the Cellular LED signal strength indicator or on the
Prisma SD-WAN
web interface.
Do not place the antennas close to, or pointing to one another, or layover one another.
Make sure the power cables do not cross over the antennas to avoid signal quality distortion and antenna performance degradation.
When installing the
ION
device on a wall or a desktop, it is recommended to orient the antennas upright and slanted slightly outwards, not exceeding 45 degrees, to improve the signal quality.
