e-mobility 802.11b Wireless LAN DSSS Access Point Antennas
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like an even placement of light bulbs) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place the antenna using the following guidelines:
•Install the antenna as high as practical.
•Orient the antenna vertically for best reception.
•Point the antenna downward if attaching the AP to the ceiling.
The AP requires one antenna and can use two. Two antennas provide diversity that can improve signal reception.
Attach antennas to ANTENNA connectors on the back of the AP. For a single antenna, use the PRIMARY ANTENNA connector and set the Antenna Diversity setting to Primary Only. This is the left antenna connector when viewed from the front of the unit. It is identified by one vertical bar on the bottom of the unit. The secondary antenna is marked with two vertical bars.
