• When you are attaching external antennas to the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231), use cables with female reverse-TNC
connectors to connect antennas to the ports on the side of the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231). See the following figure
for antenna port markings.

About Mounting Options
Note:
Because the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) internal antennas have been designed to reduce inter-floor inter-
ference, it is strongly recommended that you mount the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) standing or hanging straight
up or down.
Note:
You can mount the WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231) in the ceiling plenum or below the ceiling using the
ceiling mount base or wall mount brackets, but the WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231) perform best when mounted
below the ceiling.
• When you are mounting the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) in the middle of a ceiling, hallway, or ceiling plenum, you
will typically use the color-coordinated ceiling-mount base to stabilize the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) after it is
mounted. Use the mounting base to mark the sheet metal, drywall, or other screw locations.
