HP provides a variety of external antenna options for extending the radio
range and shaping the coverge area of your access point by connecting
antennas to your HP ProCurve 802.11g 170wl radio card . These antennas offer
a number of different mounting locations, including indoor or outdoor, wall,
ceiling, or radio mast.
This guide shows you how to install an external antenna for your 170wl radio
card.
Only the HP antennas listed in this guide are permitted to be connected to the
170wl radio card. You must use the appropriate antennas, cables, and where
applicable, surge arrestors, for your given region. You are responsible for
verifying local regulations or legislation that may impose restrictions on the
use of specific antenna and cable combinations. For this reason, HP recom-
mends that you consult with a professional installer who is trained in RF
installation and knowledgeable in the local regulations prior to connecting an
external antenna to your wireless radio product. It is the responsibility of the
end user to ensure the antenna installation complies with the local radio
regulations.
