AP
Connections
This section describes the MA 850A1 ports to be connected to the 802.11a/b/g APs. The antenna
zone over which the signal is distributed corresponds directly to the AP port connection,
therefore, when connecting the 802.11 APs, keep in mind the area to be covered. Refer to
section
1.4 for a description of the distribution patterns.
For example, connecting 802.11a APs to 802.11a inputs 2 and 3 will distribute these signals
though antenna ports 2 and 3. Connecting the 802.11b/g APs to 802.11b/g inputs 1, 2 and 3,
will distribute the signals over antenna ports 1, 2 and 3.
All signals are combined and routed
through the same coax and antenna infrastructure.
NOTE: It is recommended to RESET the unit by removing and reinserting the power
connector on the front panel after connecting the APs.
