Component Description

Antennas

The access point includes two antennas for wireless communications. The signal transmitted from both antennas is identical, but only the best signal received on one of the antennas is used. The antennas transmit the outgoing signal along a horizontal plane perpendicular to the antenna (in the shape of a toroidal sphere, or a donut). The antennas should be adjusted to different angles to provide better coverage.

LED Indicators

The access point includes four status LED indicators, as shown in Figure 1‐2 and described in Table 1‐1.
