SELECTING AND CONNECTING A DIFFERENT ANTENNA MODEL

The standard detachable antennas supplied with the Access Point 8250 and Access Point 8750 are suitable for a broad variety of environments. If you require a different type of antenna for the Access Point 8250 or Access Point 8750, several options are available by model number from the 3Com Web site (www.3Com.com). (Access Point 8500 does not support interchangeable antennas.)

For each of the antenna models, you will need either a 6-foot accessory cable (model 3CWE480) or a 20-foot accessory cable (model 3CWE481) to provide the transition from the SMA connector on the access point to the N-type connector on the antenna.

To ensure the physical safety of anyone near the antenna and to prevent damage to the access point, follow the building codes for antenna installations in your area. Also, when connecting the optional antenna to the access point, remember to use only the A-side connector on the access point, on the right when properly installed.
