How to install DMM4-6-60 Antenna
- Plan your placement to maximize line-of-sight to cellular towers. Choose a high, unobstructed location away from large metal surfaces that can cause reflections or shielding. For vehicle installations, consider mounting on a roof rack or rear cargo area where the antenna has a clear view of the sky.
- Prepare mounting hardware and ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use appropriate mounting brackets, clamps, and fasteners suitable for the chosen installation location. If mounting outdoors, ensure weatherproofing and seals are intact to maintain performance and longevity.
- Connect the four RF cables from the DMM4-6-60 to your MIMO router, gateway, or compatible receiver. Follow the device’s channel mapping instructions to assign each feed to the corresponding RF path. Use proper RF bulkhead connectors or short, high-quality coax cables to minimize loss and maintain signal integrity.
- Secure all cables and ensure there is no strain on connections. Route cables away from heat sources or potential damage zones and use grommets or cable management solutions as needed. If used in an outdoor environment, protect exposed connections from moisture and debris.
- Power up your network equipment and perform a signal test. Check RSSI, SINR, and throughput metrics across the bands of interest. If possible, adjust the antenna angle, height, or orientation to optimize signal strength and data performance. Repeat tests across different locations to identify the best deployment configuration.
- Document the installation, including mounting location, orientation, and device pairing. This helps with future maintenance, upgrades, or re-deployments and ensures you can replicate the setup for consistent results.
