4. Place the MP in the desired location on the table.
5. If the MP requires an external antenna, install and connect the antenna.
Connecting an MP to an External Antenna
Each radio in an Indoor MP can use an optional Trapeze external antenna. To mount the antenna, see
the instructions that come with the antenna.
To connect a mounted external antenna to an MP:
1. Attach the exterior antenna cable that is shipped with the antenna to the MP external antenna
connector.
Both connectors are labeled to indicate the radio type. The MP has RP-SMA connectors for
attachment to the 802.11b/g antenna and to the 802.11a antenna.
2. Attach the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna.
!
Caution
The external connectors on the MP are labeled: 11B/G and 11A (excluding the
MP-522E which has numbered ports only). Each connector is a RP-SMA connector.
Make sure you attach the antenna to the correct connector.
Note:
If the MP is installed in a Trapeze Networks outdoor MP enclosure, attach the
antenna cable to the lightning surge arrestor (if installed) or the RP-SMA bulkhead
connector on the enclosure.
