5 GHz Antenna Adapter or AP-3 11a Upgrade Kit

The 5 GHz Antenna Adapter or 11a Upgrade Kit (used with software release 2.3) can be used in the Access Point. Because the 802.11a requires an antenna adapter, only one 5 GHz radio can be installed in the AP. The second slot can be populated with an 802.11b or 802.11b/g card.

System Requirements

The following are the minimum requirements to begin using an AP:

•A 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet switch or hub

•At least one radio card designed for the AP:

—an 802.11b PC Card,

—802.11b/g Card,

—5 GHz Antenna Adapter Kit, or
