How to connect external antennas
Note
•
If both interfaces of access points with two IWLAN interfaces are operated in the same
frequency range,
–
the distance between the antennas connected to R1A1, R1A2, R1A3 and those
connected to R2A1, R2A2, R2A3 must be at least 1 m.
–
there may be wireless interference on one or both IWLAN interfaces if the transmit
power is higher than 15 dB.
•
First, connect the cables to the "R2" sockets if you are using more than one antenna for
an interface. After connecting the cables to the "R1" sockets, the "R2" sockets are difficult
to reach.
