Install Antennas on ION 3200H-C5G-WW
Learn how to install antennas on ION 3200H-C5G-WW (supports multi-band antennas)
device of Prisma SD-WAN.
The ION 3200H-C5G-WW supports multi-band antennas which can be easily secured to the
device.
The ION 3200H-C5G-WW has four antenna SMA (F) connectors.
The antennas must be connected before the
device is installed in an equipment rack.
Before installing the device, it is recommended that you conduct a cellular
location assessment of the installation site to receive the best signal strength
before installing the device.
If installing the device on a wall or on a flat surface, it is recommended that
you orient the antennas upright and slanted slightly outwards, not exceeding 45
degrees, to improve the signal quality.

Adjust the antenna orientation to receive the optimal signal strength in your environment.Check the signal strength of the firewall by viewing the Cellular LED (see ION Device 3200H LEDs).Do not point the antennas toward one another or place them close together. Hold the antenna in a fixed position while tightening the splined nut on it.Ensure that power cables do not cross over the antennas as this can cause signal quality distortion and antenna performance degradation.
