!Caution: Do not connect a telephone cable into the Console port; doing so can cause serious damage to the access point.

CONNECTING THE STANDARD ANTENNAS

The Access Point 7250 is supplied with standard detachable antennas. These should be attached before the access point is installed. If using an alternate antenna, see “Selecting and Connecting a Different Antenna Model” on page 21.

1Carefully unpack the standard detachable antennas.

CAUTION: Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected

!to the access point, as this could lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD), which could damage the equipment.

2Screw an antenna into each of the sockets in the access point housing.

3Hand-tighten the antennas at the very base of the SMA connectors without handling the antenna tips.

4Position the antennas so they turn out and away from the access point at a 45-degree angle. After network startup, you may need to adjust the antennas to fine-tune coverage in your area.

Depending on the coverage required for your site, you may want to replace the standard detachable antennas with one of the external antennas available for use with the access point. See “Selecting and Connecting a Different Antenna Model” on page 21.
