1.3 Distribution of Services in the MA-860
The MA-860 distributes mobile and data services via the same antenna infrastructure. The
802.11a/b/g signals from each AP port connection are distributed to the corresponding antenna
port along with any mobile services interfacing to the mobile services ports.
For example, the signals from an AP connected to MA-860 b/g-1 and a-1 are routed to
antenna-1 along with mobile services connected to Mobile port-1. Signals from an AP
connected to MA-860 b/g-2 and a-2 are routed to antenna-2, along with mobile services
connected to Mobile port-2.
Note: Mobile services (in installations where MA-860 units are integrated into MA 1000/2000
installations), the mobile services are distributed over the antenna ports corresponding to the
SMA connection ports.
