Connecting Radio Antennas to the Access Point HWIC
The access point HWIC houses one radio (single-mode) or two radios (dual-mode) for connection to a
wireless LAN. There are two access point HWICs:
•
Single-mode access point HWIC with 2.4-GHz radio for 802.11b/g operations. (See
Figure 132
.)
The following are the Cisco part numbers and the geographic regions for which the interface cards
are configured:
–
HWIC-AP-G-A—North America
–
HWIC-AP-G-E—Europe
–
HWIC-AP-G-J—Japan
