3. Connect the radio to the
antenna by sliding it into the
captive space. Secure the
radio to the antenna using the
two bolts provided.
4. Weatherproof the connector
using standard practices, with
waterproof wrap.
5. Use standard work and safety
practices for tower climbing,
and connect the upper
assembly to a pole, mounting
fixture, or the tower.
6. Adjust downtilt as desired, per
previous calculations done
during Planning. If any doubts,
confirm downtilt after the radio
is operational using SMs in the
field at selected test locations.

Procedure 4: Cabling and Grounding/Earthing the AP
1. Standard Canopy installation practices apply, including using shielded Ethernet cable
for all infrastructure cabling, using drip loops, providing extra cable for future use at
any termination, and ensuring the tower or structure is fully grounded (Protective
Earth – PE).
2. Use dielectric grease on all connections and in all RJ-45 Ethernet connectors.
(Dielectric grease is generally available in the trade, and is specially formulated so as
to be uniformly non-conducting.) The best practice is to use enough grease to fill the
RJ-45 female connector, and then insert the RJ-45 male connector and push the
grease further into the Canopy unit and around the RJ-45 connector. Excess grease
