How to install Fortinet 2.4 GHz 8 dBi Omni-Directional Outdoor Antenna

• Choose an outdoor mounting location with clear space around the installation to maximize 360-degree coverage and minimize interference from nearby structures.
• Mount the antenna to a sturdy mast, wall bracket, or pole using hardware rated for outdoor use; ensure the mounting surface is capable of withstanding wind loads in your location.
• Connect the antenna to your Fortinet device using a weatherproof RF cable. Use an N-Type connector on the antenna end and the matching connector on the device end, then seal the connection to prevent moisture ingress.
• Route the RF cable carefully to minimize signal loss, avoid sharp bends, and keep the cable away from sources of EMI and potential physical damage; minimize cable length while maintaining your installation requirements to reduce attenuation.
• Power up the Fortinet device and verify signal quality, throughput, and coverage in all directions; because the antenna is omni-directional, test from multiple angles and adjust height or mounting position as needed for optimal performance.
