The following illustrations can help you to use this
802.11n/MIMO antenna relocation stand with the proper

Start Installing your 802.11n/MIMO Antenna
Relocation Stand
Model: EA-MARS
The antennas are not enclosed in the package.
In this case, you have to purchase proper antenna models
(Please contact with Edimax local distributors for more
information.) or use the antennas from your 802.11n/MIMO
devices.
For example, If EA-MARS is going to be used with your
802.11n/MIMO AP/ Router, the connection would be:

EA-MARS with
antennas
Notice:
Please make sure that the antennas of your 802.11n/MIMO
devices (Such as AP/ Router, PCI card) can be manually
detached (unscrewed) from the devices.

Assemble the antennas to EA-MARS
Step 1.
Unscrew the antennas counterclockwise from the devices (see
below)
Step 2.
Screw the antennas clockwise onto the outer connectors of
EA-MARS until they are firmly attached.

For PCI adapter
For Router / AP
Where can you locate the stand?
There are several positions
1. Desktop mount
2. Partition or metal surface mount
3. Ceiling mounts (without any tools)
4. Wall mounts with screws
1. Desktop stand
EA-MARS can helps you to relocate your antennas to a better
and optimal position to receive and transmit signals.
6
2. Office partition or metal surface installation
EA-MARS is embedded with strong magnets to stick EA-MARS
to the metal walls or cabinets without extra tools or accessories.
Warning:
EA-MARS has 2 magnetic please keeps it away at least 6
inches from you PC in order not to crash the data or to make
other devices failed.
7
Step 1.
Please note there are 2 plastic fasteners on the bottom of the
base. Push the fasteners downward with your forefingers and
disassemble the bottom cover from the stand like the direction
shown in the illustration
Use forefinger to loose both the hooks and push UPWARDS
with both your thumbs
Push upwards hardly until a opening click sound is heard
8
Step 2.
Remove the bottom cover after both fasteners are released by
hands and turn the cover around. Re-assemble the cover by
clicking the cover back to position.
You can see 2 plastic hooks. These hooks could help you
flexible grabs onto the steel frames of your ceiling (see the
diagrams below).

4. Wall installations (With screws and tools)
You need to use tools to complete this installation
The distance between screw holes is about 6cm, try to measure
and match this range before fix your screws on the wall.
10
Screws installations
Lock the screw tightly and keep some margin spaces left (about
3 to 5mm) like the diagram below.
3mm
Therefore EA-MARS can be hanged onto the wall with both
screws.
11
The antennas on the right and left side are for signal reception and
should be set perpendicular (90 degrees) to each other. The central
one is for signal transmission and should be pulled up about 45
degree. Please see the illustration below.
About antenna angle adjustment
Please position place the antenna vertically to the horizontal
surface (ceiling or floor), since the omni-directional antennas
best signal coverage is 360°. Do not put the antenna
perpendicular to the wall.
12
Warning:
For better performance, both base stations and clients are
recommended to use EA-MARS with antennas
It should be no obstacles between the transmission areas. The
performance estimation is based on typical usage. The range is
varied with different site conditions.
