Installing External Antennas

You can optionally install external antennas on the AP-4000/4000M/4900M. For information on the AP’s antenna functionality, see Antennas.

Follow the mounting instructions included with your external antenna, and then connect the antenna cable to the AP, as follows:

1.Press down near the center of the compartment covering and slide open the external antenna access compartments. The compartment closer to the LED panel contains the connectors for the 802.11b/g radio, and the other compartment contains the connectors for the 802.11a radio.

NOTE: AP-4000 models 8670-US2 and 8670-AU do not provide external antenna connectors for 5GHz (802.11a) operation.

Figure 2-6 Opening the Antenna Compartment

2.There are four antenna connectors in the AP-4000/4000M/4900M, labeled 1 through 4. Connectors 1 and 2 are for the 802.11b/g radio, and connectors 3 and 4 and for the 802.11a radio.Connect the antenna cable to connector 1 or 4 (the connector closer to the LED panel in the compartment), depending on the radio.

NOTE: When the AP-4900M is configured to operate in the 4.9 GHz Public Safety operational mode, antenna diversity is disabled, and antenna 3 is statically configured for use.
