LANCOM IN-H180 WiFi Antenna
Preparation for wall- and ceiling mounting
Use the antenna as a drilling template to mark out the drill holes for wall-
or suspended ceiling mounting. The horizontal and vertical separation of the
adjacent holes is 104 mm. For ceiling mounting, if required, drill a hole into
the center of the ceiling board to feed through the connector cables.
Alternatively, you can use the integrated cable duct on the
antenna backside to lead the cables sideways.
Size of the drill holes
Using the markings as a guide, drill the holes and insert dowels for wall
mounting, if appropriate. Depending on the surface material the required size
of the holes may vary.
Mounting the antenna
Ceiling board mounting with screws and nuts
Included: 4 thread screws 30 mm, 4 washers, 4 nuts From the frontside, stick
the thread screws through the appropriate holes of the antenna housing and the
previously drilled holes of the ceiling board. Place the washers on the screws
from the backside of the ceiling board. Finally, use the nuts for fixing.
Ceiling mounting with screws and clips
Included: 4 clips, 4 thread screws 15 mm Push the clips into the appropriate
slides at the backside of the antenna, so that the clips are placed in line
with the holes in the antenna housing. Stick the thread screws through the
holes in the antenna housing from the front side and loosely connect the
screws to the clips. Now the antenna can be moved onto the existing or
additionally mounted metal ceiling t-bars. Finally, tighten the screws for
proper fixing.
Wall mounting with screws & dowels
Included: 4 screws, 4 dowels
Place the antenna with its backside at the wall so that the holes in the antenna housing are in line with the previously inserted dowels. Stick the screws through the holes of the antenna housing into the dowels and tighten the screws.
Operating mode 2×2 MIMO & 4×4 MIMO
The antenna can be operated by two Wi-Fi modules. For this, both red marked
antenna connectors are connected to the Wi-Fi module which is operating at 2.4
GHz. Both white-marked antenna connectors are connected to the Wi-Fi module
which is operating at 5 GHz.
Important information
Responsible handling of high frequency
In order to comply with the protection requirements of EU Directive 2014/53
and EN 62479 with regard to the basic restrictions for the safety of persons
in electromagnetic fields and the „FCC Policy on Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields“, it is necessary to configure the
correct antenna gain in the WLAN router or WLAN access point.
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act
Please do not dispose of electrical and electronic waste in household waste,
where it cannot be recycled. Make sure that your electrical and electronic
waste is disposed of in accordance with the currently valid guidelines of your
country.
Correct handling of antenna cables
Antenna cables are sensitive RF cables. When laying them, it is therefore
important to ensure that the cables are not kinked and are bent as little as
possible, as this can result in losses in terms of antenna performance.
Likewise, the antenna cables should not be wound into tight cable loops.
Antenna gain and termination of unused antenna ports on access points
Unused antenna connections on the access point must be terminated with an
enclosed rod antenna. For indoor access points, the terminating resistor
included with the AirLancer AN-RPSMA-NJ adapter can be used. In addition, the
antenna gain must be specified in the configuration of the access point.
