Antenna Connector
When the Thor VM2 is ordered with the internal antenna option, the 802.11 antenna connectors on the back are not connected
to the 802.11 radio. Instead the internal antenna is connected to the 802.11 radio.
Remove the rubber cap, if present, from the antenna connector before connecting an external antenna.
Internal WiFi Antenna
If the internal WiFi antenna option is ordered, an antenna is mounted inside the Thor VM2. The internal antenna is not user
accessible.
External WiFi Antenna
An external whip antenna can be connected to the WiFi antenna connections on the back of the Thor VM2 for the 802.11 radio.
Two external antennas are used for radio diversity.
Vehicle Remote Antenna
The external antennas can be remotely mounted on the vehicle. See the Thor VM2 Vehicle Mounting Reference Guide for
instruction. External antenna kits are available for the 802.11 WiFi radio, GPS and WWAN.
