Antennas
The access point includes two antennas for wireless communications. The
outbound signal transmitted from both antennas is identical, but only the best
inbound signal received on one of the antennas is used. The antennas transmit
the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere, so the antennas should be adjusted
to different angles to provide better coverage. For further information, see
"Position the Antennas on the Access Point" on page 2-10 .
Lock
The access point includes a Kensington security slot on the rear panel, marked
with the lock symbol ( ). You can prevent unauthorized removal of the
access point by wrapping the Kensington security cable (not provided) around
an unmovable object, inserting the lock into the slot, and turning the key.
