2.2.4Adding an external antenna

An external antenna can be connected to the AirStation Pro in order to increase the signal range of the AirStation Pro. The external antenna works very well for building-to-building signal transmission.

Note: The Client Manager software must be installed on your machine before you can check the quality of the connection to an external antenna. For instructions on installing Client Manager, refer to the WLI-PCM-L11 User Manual.
