Before You Begin
Get to Know the Access Point Features
If you want to extend the range of your wireless network, you can connect external high
gain antennas (5GHz only) to the standard N-type radio frequency (RF) antenna connectors
on the top panel of the Access Point. The 5GHz antennas must have a gain of less than
14dBi to comply with FCC and CE regulations. For more information, refer to “(Optional)
Mounting and Connecting the 5GHz External Antennas” on page 51.
Figure 6. The 5GHz antenna connectors are protected by metal caps
DC Connector In addition to PoE, you can also use direct current or DC
(from a battery, for example) to supply power to the Access
Point.
