The AP should always be operated with four omni antennas attached for best performance. If you decide
to use less than four antennas, ensure that the unused antenna ports are properly covered with an
appropriate N-male connector cap (Cisco provides a kit of 10 such caps in AIR-ACC15-N-CAP=).

The AP1572 can be used with a directional antenna that connects via cables (either directly attached to
the antenna or with separate cables). See
AIR-ANT2513P4M-N= comes with its own mounting kit that will allow it to be mounted to the same
pole or wall where the AP1572 is also mounted. Four N-male to N-male cables (such as
AIR-CAB005LL-N=) are required to connect the antenna to the AP.
