Correct orientation and tilt of the antennas is the most critical part of the installation. Alignment of the antennas consists of two steps, azimuth orientation (horizontal) and mechanical tilt adjustment (vertical).
Azimuth is the horizontal orientation of the antenna on the horizon. The antenna is installed in the desired azimuth direction. Compass directions are measured in degrees, with North = 0° (or 360°), East = 90°, South = 180°, and West = 270°, as shown on the compass rose.
Tilt of the antenna is the vertical angle of the antenna in relation to the horizon. It is also referred to as elevation or inclination of the antenna. The angle of elevation is measured in positive or negative degrees, with an angle above the horizon being positive and below the horizon being negative. Tilt is used when antenna radiation must be redirected to concentrate the energy in a new direction. Downward tilt (downtilt) is most common. Inclination up, called uptilt, is very rare and only used in extreme cases. Antenna tilt is typically adjusted to zero degrees. The site installation plan indicates any deviation from the normal zero inclination for each antenna.

When multiple antennas are installed on the tower, mast, or other support structure, each antenna is installed at the same height (vertical level), using standard installation practice. On a tower structure, mount the antennas on a vertical or horizontal member. Most towers have only three tower legs. When installing four antennas, consider the required degree separation for the desired coverage. Determine which tower leg will best accommodate two of the antennas that will not interfere mechanically with the two antennas mounted on the other two tower legs.
Mount the antenna in the desired azimuth direction, as shown in the site plan. Use a magnetic compass to determine the optimum mounting location, and then mount the antenna into place. If a physical compass is not available, a free smart phone compass app can also be used. After mounting, again use the compass to ensure that the antenna azimuth is correct. Do not fully tighten the mount until completing the mechanical tilt adjustment.
Before fully tightening the mounting bolts, measure and adjust the tilt of the antenna with an inclinometer positioned against the back of the antenna.
After installing the cable, each antenna is then installed and oriented as required by the network site plan. The rest of the equipment is then installed and connected. The steps in this example, for 360° coverage, assume that four antennas, at 90° angles, are to be installed. 1. Install antenna #1 at the Northern most mounting location. 2. Adjust the azimuth (horizontal orientation) of the antenna to a compass reading of 0° (degrees) magnetic. 3. Measure and adjust the tilt of the antenna to 0° with an inclinometer positioned against the back of the antenna. Securely tighten all mounting bolts. 4. Install antenna #2 at the Eastern most mounting location. 5. Adjust the azimuth (horizontal orientation) of the antenna to a compass reading of 90° magnetic. 6. Measure and adjust the tilt of the antenna to 0° with an inclinometer positioned against the back of the antenna. Securely tighten all mounting bolts. 7. Install antenna #3 at the Southern most mounting location. 8. Adjust the azimuth (horizontal orientation) of the antenna to a compass reading of 180° magnetic. 33 CN1100 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7601 - 3.8
9. Measure and adjust the tilt of the antenna to 0° with an inclinometer positioned against the back of the antenna. Securely tighten all mounting bolts. 10. Install antenna #3 at the Western most mounting location. 11. Adjust the azimuth (horizontal orientation) of the antenna to a compass reading of 270° magnetic. 12. Measure and adjust the tilt of the antenna to 0° with an inclinometer positioned against the back of the antenna. Securely tighten all mounting bolts.
1. At the site location, record the GPS coordinates at the center of the tower. 2. Identify the desired height and location for the CN1100 Access Point devices and antennas to be installed on structure. For each CN1100 to be installed, run Ethernet data cable from the CN1100 location on the tower to the weather-protected CN1100 power supply location. IMPORTANT • UV-resistant CMX outdoor-rated, Cat 5e UTP Ethernet cable MUST be used. • Foil-shielded cable is recommended in areas requiring protection from EMI, RFI, or cross talk. • Failure to properly install the provided IP68-rated Weatherproof Ethernet Power Connector may lead to product failure, and void the product warranty. Color-code and document each data cable, as shown in the topic Antenna Cabling Identification on page 27. 3. For each CN1100 to be installed, attach the supplied weatherproof Ethernet connector onto the CN1100 end of the data cable. 4. Also install two ferrite beads on the end of this data cable, within 6 inches of the CN1100 Access Point. 5. Install the antenna or antennas, as specified by your system design (sector, omni, or panel). NOTE If using the xMax Panel Antenna, the CN1100 was previously prepared for installation as shown in the topic Panel Antenna Assembly on page 31. 6. Orient the antennas according to the network plan. Refer to the topic Antenna Orientation Overview on page 28 for detailed information.

7. Select an appropriate location near the antenna to mount the CN1100 Access Point and then secure it with an appropriate mounting bracket. IMPORTANT: Omni or Sector Antenna Installations A properly grounded lightning arrester MUST be installed at each CN1100 antenna connector. 8. Connect the antenna cables to the CN1100 Access Point devices. IMPORTANT Ensure that the correct CN1100 Access Point connector is attached to the correct antenna connector. 9. Connect the data cable from the weather-protected CN1100 power supply location to the mounted CN1100 device. 10. Install appropriate ground lightning protection. 11. Check the antenna positioning to ensure specified azimuths and tilts, and readjust as necessary. 12. Inspect the completed work to ensure all hardware is tight, antennas are level, hangers are properly fastened, proper support is in place, and strain reliefs and drip loops are provided on all exposed cables. IMPORTANT NOTICE All connectors on the CN1100 Access Point are IP67-rated, providing full protection against dust and water intrusion. Application of any additional weatherproofing is NOT required. If weatherproofing products are used, future servicing of the equipment might be difficult or impossible, and void the product warranty. 13. At the weather-protected CN1100 power supply location, install a PoE Surge Protector for each CN1100 Access Point device. IMPORTANT The PoE Surge Protector MUST be properly grounded. 14. Install an RJ-45 connector on the end of the data cable running from the CN1100. 15. Install two ferrite beads on the Ethernet cable from the CN1100, within 6 inches of the surge protector. 16. Connect this cable to the grounded PoE Surge Protector. 17. Install the supplied PoE++ Power Supply near the PoE Surge Protector. 18. Using a short Ethernet cable, connect the PoE Surge Protector to the Power plus Data (OUT) port on the PoE++ Power Supply. 19. Connect the Ethernet cable from the xMax network to the Data (IN) port on the PoE++ Power Supply. 35 CN1100 Access Point - Installation Guide - G7601 - 3.8
20. Install two ferrite beads on this cable, one within 6 inches of the PoE++ Power Supply, and also one near the other end of this cable. 21. Connect the supplied AC Power Cord to the PoE++ Power Supply. 22. After checking all connections, plug the AC Power Cord into a 110 VAC power source. Within approximately three minutes, the CN1100 initializes and begins broadcasting beacons. At this time the Status LED glows GREEN. If backhaul is not available, the Status LED glows RED. 23. Test the operation of all transmission components, using a Cat5 tester, or xMax xDrive software. Refer to the xDrive Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions. 24. Document the installation with site photos of the completed work performed. In multiple CN1100 Access Point device installations, be sure to record the device cable color-code and azimuth for each sector.

The self organization features in xMax SON provide:
Auto channel selection upon boot Web GUI accessible rules table Periodic re-scan for better channel Bridge devices, xMods and xVMs, scan all possible channels and build available and preferred channel lists
NOTE The CN1100s are installed first, and then SON is configured.
The rules table is a mechanism, located within each CN1100 that forms the set of rules that guide the cognitive engine. The table includes entries for each possible channel that can instruct it either to use the channel, prefer the channel, or exclude the channel.
One channel selected is a special case. The CN1100 locks to one channel. Upon initialization, it does not scan. It goes to the locked channel and begins operation. The operator can use this feature to manually configure the network, bypassing the SON features. In this table, the CN1100 is locked to channel 8. 1

When selecting two or more channels for use, the CN1100 only scans the selected preferred channels. The disabled channels are never used. Network operators can disable certain channels when they are reserved for other equipment or use. The system automatically selects the best channel from the Preferred list. In this table, the CN1100 scans the selected Preferred (P) channels 4 thru 9. The CN1100 then selects the best channel, channel 8. Enabled (E) channels 4-7 and 9 are not used. It never uses the Disabled (D) channels (1-3 or 10-16). CHANNELS 1 D

On initialization, the CN1100:
Applies random backoff (in 10s of seconds)
Scans the preferred and enabled channels
Applies the table rules (interference, loading, and beacon SINR)
Selects the best channel
Begins operating
The CN1100 uses the described rules table to select a channel based on the following input:
Scanning logs the SINR and loading of an xMax signal on each preferred channel.
Scanning logs the relative noise floor of each preferred channel.
A decision engine chooses the best channel to use based upon the conditions of that channel. The channel with the lowest xMax SINR and noise floor, but still below a maximum allowable threshold as set in the internal table, is claimed and used.
If no channels with xMax signals below the maximum threshold are found, no channel is claimed and this condition is reported to xMonitor/SNMP.
An CN1100 in the “no channel available” condition waits a specified time and then begins channel scanning for an available channel.
From time to time, the CN1100 scans for a better channel. A better channel is defined the same way the channels were graded in the initial scan. However, just because there is a better channel from the CN1100 receiver perspective, this is not necessarily a mandate to change channels. The CN1100 makes a periodic scan on a timed interval or when the channel reaches a determined error or noise threshold. This threshold or timing is set so that channel is unusable or idle. Mobile devices use their preferred channel list to hand off to another CN1100, if available. In this case, the bridge devices, xMods and xVMs, scan until they reacquire a CN1100.
In order for SON to work, as well as handoff or DSA, the xMod/xVM must always scan in the background to build a preferred channel list. This list includes all available channels, as these devices are mobile and may move into locations that have different channel sets or different excluded channels.
