When planning the installation the following needs to be considered:
• The hardware and tools required to complete the installation.
• Wireless router installation location.
• Multiwire routing between the router and the NPU.
• The power source location for the NPU.
• The routing path for the ethernet cabling.
• Antenna grounding and lightning arrestor requirements.

3.1.1 To find a location for the router

When planning the location of the router the highest point on the roof
should be used to ensure a clear line of sight. Existing structures like
chimneys, pipes, tv antenna poles etc. should be used for mounting the
router. Only if there is no suitable mounting point, should a mounting pole
be used.
Height of the antenna is often limited to physical limitations of the site.
For example, an antenna mast can be placed on a rooftop or installed on
an existing structure or tower. Avoid using a mast if at all possible, but be
sure that the antenna clears the roof line.
It is acceptable to use the TV antenna pole already installed. If the TV
antenna is used, be sure to loosen the antenna mounting, slide the TV
antenna down the pole leaving sufficient room to mount the router at the
top of the pole.
