3. Add more access points as needed.
When connecting the AP-4121 model access point to an Ethernet switch,
ensure switch port parameters are set to Half Duplex. Severe performance
degradation may result from mis-matched speed or duplex mode. Refer to
the rear of the access point for product model information.

Single Cell
The single-cell connection option allows a single AP to bridge MUs without a
wired network. MUs appear as peers in any Ethernet environment.

Placing the AP
Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from
far away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize
coverage and creates dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area
(like even placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.
Place an AP using the following guidelines:
•
•
•
The AP requires one antenna and can use two. Two antennas provide
diversity that can improve performance and signal reception.
Attach antennas to ANTENNA connectors on the back of the AP . For a single
antenna, use the PRIMARY ANTENNA connector and set the Antenna
Diversity setting to Primary Only. This is the left antenna connector when
viewed from the front of the unit. It is identified by one vertical bar on the
bottom of the unit. The secondary antenna is marked with two vertical bars.

Install the AP as high as practical.
Orient the AP vertically for best reception.
Point the AP antenna downward if attaching the AP to the ceiling.
