How to install HPE Outdoor MIMO Antenna Kit ANT-3x3-2005

• Plan your installation: Choose a high, unobstructed outdoor location with clear line-of-sight to the associated APs or mesh nodes. Consider nearby sources of interference and physical mounting options to support wind loads and weather exposure.
• Mount the antennas: Securely fasten the two vertical antennas and the one horizontal antenna to a sturdy outdoor mast, pole, or mount. Ensure all mounting hardware is rated for outdoor use and that the antennas are oriented to maximize coverage in the target area.
• Route cabling: Run weatherproof cabling from each antenna to the network equipment. Use appropriate seals, grommets, and cable glands to prevent moisture ingress and to maintain a clean RF path back to the radios.
• Connect and align: Connect the antennas to the corresponding radio ports on your outdoor APs or MIMO radios. While the omnidirectional pattern reduces the need for precise aiming, verify that the rotational orientation supports optimal coverage for the client layout and minimizes potential interference.
• Test and optimize: Power on the network, monitor link quality, signal strength, and throughput across the 2.4 GHz band. Make small orientation or placement adjustments if necessary to eliminate coverage gaps and to balance uplink/downlink performance.
