Installing The Antenna - Cisco AIR-ANT2524DB-R Quick Start Manual

Cisco Aironet Dual-band Dipole Antenna (AIR-ANT2524DB-R, AIR-ANT2524DG-R, and AIR-ANT2524DW-R)
This antenna is designed for use with Cisco Aironet access points that support simultaneous operation in the 2.4 GHz band and
the 5 GHz band and that have dual-band antenna ports, labeled in orange text.
Features
The antenna has an articulated base that can be rotated 360 degrees at the connection point and from 0 to 90 degrees at its
joint.

Installing the Antenna

CAUTION: The AIR-ANT2524Dx-R series of antennas are dual-band antennas, meaning that they operate in both the 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz frequency bands. The AIR-ANT2524Dx-R series antennas have an orange ID band on them to indicate their
dual-band functionality. Connect these antennas only to dual-band antenna ports, which are identified with orange text on Cisco
Aironet access points. Using these antennas on Cisco Aironet access points that employ single-band antennas might result in
lower performance.
To install the antenna:
1. Verify that the connector to which you are connecting the antenna is a dual-band antenna port, identified by orange text on
the access point.
2. Align the antenna connector with the RP-TNC connector on the access point.
3. Engage the antenna connector threads with the RP-TNC connector on the access point.
4. Tighten the antenna by hand. Do not use a wrench or any other tool to tighten the antenna.
5. Adjust the antenna articulating joint to the desired position.
