Install External Antennas (Professional Installation Required)
Optionally, you can connect two to four external antennas to your AP.
All products using external antennas must be professionally installed, and the transmit power of the system must be
adjusted by the professional installers to ensure that the system EIRP is in compliance with the limit specified by the
regulatory authority of the country of application.
See the following sections for more information:
• Connecting Antenna(s) to the AP-4000/4000M
• Connecting Antenna(s) to the AP-4900M for 4.9 GHz Operation
• Adjusting Tx Output Power
• Antenna Types and Maximum Gain
Connecting Antenna(s) to the AP-4000/4000M
Follow the mounting instructions included with your external antenna, and then connect the antenna cable to the AP, as
follows:
1. Press down near the center of the compartment covering and slide open the external antenna access compartments.
The compartment closer to the LED panel contains the connectors for the 802.11b/g radio, and the other
