3Com 9150, 9550 manual Mode Antennas Used

Antennas Used per Mode 73

In some modes, not all of the connectors are in use.

The following table defines which external antenna connectors are used in which mode:

Mode	Antennas Used
2x3	A,B,C
2x2	A,C
1x1	A

Note: When using 1x1 mode, either in WDS mode or in AP mode using the 3CWE591 Omni antenna, only connector A is active. This is the connector on the far right, looking at the AP with the 3Com logo facing you. No other connectors are active in this mode.

When in WDS mode:

■

■

select 1X1 mode when peers are omni-directional, distributed around the central node in a point-multipoint link.

select 2X2 mode for a point-to-point link, using either the 3CWE596 or 3CW598 panel antenna. The antennas must both point in the same direction, with one antenna rotated 90 degrees, in order for MIMO to function correctly.

Note: In 2x2 mode, the two outer connectors (A and C) are active. The connector in the middle (B) is not active and should not be used.
