Connecting the Standard Antennas
Figure 1 Front and Rear Panel Description
CONNECTING THE STANDARD ANTENNAS
The Access Point 8760 is supplied with standard detachable antennas. These
should be attached before the access point is installed. If using an alternate
antenna, see
“Selecting and Connecting a Different Antenna Model” on
page 2-12.
1 Carefully unpack the standard detachable antennas.
2 Screw an antenna into each of the sockets in the access point housing.
3 Hand-tighten the antennas at the very base of the RSMA connectors.
4 Position the antennas so they turn out and away from the access point at a
45-degree angle. After network startup, you may need to adjust the antennas
to fine-tune coverage in your area.

CAUTION: Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected
to the access point, as this could lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD), which
could damage the
equipment.
