* Channel 14 is not available for the RCM4400W.
The same omnidirectional antenna is used to transmit and receive the 802.11b/g RF signal.
An antenna switch isolates the high-power RF Tx signal path from the RF Rx signal path.
The antenna switch works by alternately connecting the antennas to either the AL2236 Tx
output or to the AL2236 Rx input. In order to support this antenna-sharing scheme, the
RCM5400W module operates the radio in a half-duplex mode so that receive and transmit
operations never occur at the same time The antenna switch at U19 switches the receive/
transmit functionality between the outputs at P2 and P1 (not stuffed) so that P2 is transmit-
ting while P1 would be receiving and vice versa. Dynamic C does not support a P1 output.
The RF connector on P2 is an RP-SMA connector with its outer casing attached to the
RCM5400W ground. It is recommended that the OEM integrator of this device improve
ESD protection by attaching P2 to chassis ground.
There are two LEDs close to the RP-SMA antenna connector atP2, a green LED at DS2
(

) to indicate association with the Wi-Fi access point, and a yellow LED at DS1
(
) to indicate activity.
