Installation and Initialization AP-700 User Guide
AP-700 Hardware Description
15
The AP-700 also has two antenna connectors for use with external antennas.
Figure 2-3 AP-700 Antenna Connectors
When the AP is mounted on a wall, connector 1 corresponds to the horizontally polarized internal antenna, providing a
coverage pattern parallel to the wall; connector 2 corresponds to the vertically polarized internal antenna, providing a
coverage pattern parallel to the ceiling/floor. When the AP is mounted to a ceiling, connector 1 corresponds to the
vertically polarized internal antenna, and connector 2 corresponds to the horizontally polarized internal antenna. Plugging
an external antenna in to the antenna connector disables the corresponding internal antenna.
The AP continues to support antenna diversity with external antennas connected. With one external antenna connected
to one of the two antenna connectors on a radio, one internal antenna and one external antenna are used for antenna
diversity. With two external antennas connected, both external antennas are used for antenna diversity, and both internal
antennas are disabled.
With external antennas connected, you may wish to manually select a particular antenna for use. To do so, disable
antenna diversity by manually selecting which antenna to use through the Command Line Interface. See Configure
Antenna Diversity for information.
NOTE: Using two external antennas is not recommended.
For a list of recommended antennas, see http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/accessories.
For installation instructions, see Install External Antennas (Professional Installation Required).
NOTE:
AP-700 units using external antennas must be installed by a suitably trained professional installation
technician or by a qualified installation service.
See Hardware Installation for AP cabling and mounting instructions, and Install External Antennas
(Professional Installation Required) for external antenna installation instructions.
