Antenna Interface
The W-IAP175 requires the use of detachable outdoor-rated antennas. Select the correct antenna type to support
the required frequency band (2.4 or 5 GHz) and the desired coverage pattern.
The W-IAP175 is equipped with four, female N-type antenna interfaces; two on the top of the AP and two on the
bottom. The interfaces are grouped into diversity pairs, one pair is marked R0 (Radio 0) and the other pair
marked as R1 (Radio 1). R0 supports the 5 GHz frequency band and R1 supports the 2.4 GHz radio band.
