Quick Start Guide Antenna Alignment Tool AIMWLLR0-35 QSG-00097 rev 7 AIMWLLR0-35 [NRB-0200] QSG.indd 1 21/12/2016 2:02 PM Welcome This quick start guide is designed to familiarize you with the features and use of the NetComm Wireless Antenna Alignment Tool. The Antenna Alignment Tool is a battery-powered tool which connects to the alignment port on the back of a NetComm Wireless Outdoor Antenna, providing power and a wireless access point. The installer can then use a portable wireless device, such as a laptop or tablet, to connect to the antenna to read signal strength data and align it in the optimal position. 2 QSG-00097 rev 7 AIMWLLR0-35 [NRB-0200] QSG.indd 2 21/12/2016 2:02 PM

| AIMWLLR0-35 Using the Antenna Alignment Tool to align an outdoor antenna Before beginning to align an outdoor antenna, press the battery check button on the bottom of the Antenna Alignment Tool and observe the battery level indicated by the LED indicators. Ensure that you have an adequate charge level for the installation. To align an outdoor antenna:

1. Prepare the outdoor antenna as per the Installation Guide. 2. On the outdoor antenna, locate the alignment port and remove the protective cap from it. 11 QSG-00097 rev 7 AIMWLLR0-35 [NRB-0200] QSG.indd 11 21/12/2016 2:02 PM

| AIMWLLR0-35Antenna Alignment Tool 3. Remove the protective cap from the Antenna Alignment Tools connector then connect the Antenna Alignment Tool to the alignment port of the antenna as shown below. 4. When the device is positioned at the mounting location, press the Antenna Alignment Tools Power button once to turn it on. 12 QSG-00097 rev 7 AIMWLLR0-35 [NRB-0200] QSG.indd 12 21/12/2016 2:02 PM

| AIMWLLR0-35 5. Wait approximately 1 minute for the antenna to go through its boot up process. NOTE: When the Antenna Alignment Tool is connected to the Outdoor Antenna, do not point the front panel of the antenna directly at other people or yourself. Always maintain a separation distance of 8 inches between any part of your body and the front of the antenna (the official FCC recommendation specifies 20cm separation). We recommend that you disconnect the PoE cable and Antenna Alignment Tool if you are working in proximity to the antenna and it is not required to be on. 6. Using a portable wireless device such as a laptop or tablet, scan for nearby wireless networks. Connect to the network being broadcast by the Antenna Alignment Tool using the Network Name and Password which are printed on the label and on the WiFi security card included in the package. When the wireless connection has been established, use your wireless device to browse to the IP address of the antenna. To complete the installation, follow the Installation Guide that comes with your outdoor antenna. 13 QSG-00097 rev 7 AIMWLLR0-35 [NRB-0200] QSG.indd 13 21/12/2016 2:02 PM
