1.3.2 VE Access Pod (VAP)

Each VAP supports:

• Two interfaces for external antennas. By default, the VAP is set to transmit through the

internal horizontal polarized omni-directional antennas.

Note: Internal Vertical Polarized Omni Directional Antennas are not supported within this

release.

• An Ethernet port for physical Ethernet connection to devices such as a computer, IP phone or

WiFi Access Point.

• Two LED status indictors

The VAP is provided with a bracket for mounting on the wall or ceiling/lowered ceiling.

The following figure shows the VAP front and rear-underside views.
