Antennas
The access point includes integrated diversity antennas for wireless
communications. A diversity antenna system uses two identical antennas to receive
and transmit signals, helping to avoid multipath fading effects. When receiving, the
access point checks both antennas and selects the one with the strongest signal.
When transmitting, it will continue to use the antenna previously selected for
receiving. The access point never transmits from both antennas at the same time.
The antennas transmit the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere (doughnut shaped),
with the coverage extending most in a direction perpendicular to the antenna. The
antenna should be adjusted to an angle that provides the appropriate coverage for
the service area. For further information, see "Positioning the Antennas" on 2-2.
