Key Features

External Antenna

The access point/bridge is available in an external antenna configuration (see
Cisco Aironet 2.4-GHz antennas. Two reverse-TNC type RF connectors are provided on the end of the
unit to support single or diversity antenna configurations.
The antennas connect to the access point/bridge antenna connectors using a coax cable. These are some
of the external antennas supported by the access point/bridge:

Note To meet regulatory restrictions, the external antenna access point/bridge unit and the external antenna
must be professionally installed. The network administrator or other IT professional responsible for
installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the
unit should be password protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.

Ethernet Ports

The access point/bridge dual-coax Ethernet ports consists of a pair of 75-ohm F-type connectors, linking
the unit to your 100BASE-T Ethernet LAN through the power injector. The dual-coax cables are used to
send and receive Ethernet data and to supply inline 48-VDC power from the power injector to the access
point/bridge. For the location of the ports, refer to

Enclosure

The access point/bridge uses an enclosure that supports indoor or outdoor operating environments. (refer
to "Access Point/Bridge Specifications" section on page
