Connect External Antennas

When deploying a SMC2888W-M Master bridge unit for a bridge link or access point operation, you need to mount external antennas and connect them to the bridge. Typically, a bridge link requires a 5 GHz antenna, and access point operation a 2.4 GHz antenna. SMC2888W-S Slave units also require an external antenna for 2.4 GHz operation.

Perform these steps:

1.Mount the external antenna to the same supporting structure as the bridge, within 3 m (10 ft) distance, using the bracket supplied in the antenna package.
