How to Connect External Antennas
When deploying an AP, you need to mount external antennas and connect them to
the unit. Two antennas are required for 2.4 GHz operation and two can be used for
5 GHz operation. These antennas are not included in the AP package.
The SMC2891W-AN unit includes an integrated high-gain antenna for 5 GHz
operation. External antennas are not required for 5 GHz operation only for 2.4 GHz
operation.
Some omnidirectional external antennas attach directly to the N-type connectors
on the unit. Other antennas may include their own mounting brackets and connect
to the unit using RF coaxial cables.
Perform these steps:
1.
For external antennas with mounting brackets, mount the antennas to the
same supporting structure as the AP, within 3 m (10 ft) distance, using the
brackets supplied in the antenna package.
2.
Connect the antennas either directly to the AP’s N-type connectors, or use RF
coaxial cable provided in the antenna package.
