Hardware Reference Guide 67P RODUCT O VERVIEWAntennasThe AP330 has internal antennas, and the AP350 connects to detachable ones. Antennas for both modelsare described below.AP330The AP330 has six internal single-band antennas. Three of the antennas operate in the 2.4 GHz band (IEEE802.11b/g/n) with a 2-5 dBi gain. The other three antennas operate in the 5 GHz band (IEEE 802.11a/n)with a 3-6 dBi gain. All antennas are omnidirectional and provide fairly equal coverage in all directions.AP350The AP350 has six male 802.11a/b/g/n RP-SMA (reverse polarity-subminiature version A) connectors forattaching external up to six single-band dipole antennas. Articulated and non-articulated antennas areavailable as accessories. The articulated 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas have a 4-dBi gain. Thenon-articulated 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas have a 2-dBi gain. These antennas are omnidirectional,providing fairly equal coverage in all directions in a toroidal (donut-shaped) pattern. For greatercoverage on a horizontal plane, it is best to orient the antennas vertically. So that you can easily do thiswhether the AP is mounted horizontally or vertically, the articulated antennas hinge and swivel. Thenon-articulated antennas are intended for wall installations and have a fixed orientation in the samedirection as the antenna connectors. For more information about configuring antennas for the bestcoverage, see "Configuring Antennas" on page 115.Connect the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas to the connectors with the corresponding 2.4 GHz and 5 GHzlabels. In addition to being labeled, the 5 GHz antenna connectors are within gray circles that match thegray grips near the base of the 5 GHz antennas (see Figure 3).Figure 3 AP350 antennasNonarticulated antenna Articulated antennaLength whenfully extended:5 3/4” (14.6 cm)Length whenhinged at 90°:4 7/8” (12.4 cm)Length:3 1/2” (8.9 cm)Attach the 2.4 GHz antennas (whiteconnector rings) to the connec-tors labelled 2.4 GHz.Attach the 5 GHz antennas (grayconnector rings) to the connec-tors labelled 5 GHz with grayUse articulated antennas when you must angle them for optimal coverage;for example, a ceiling mount with all six antennas pointing down.Use nonarticulated antennas when youcan position the AP to determineantenna orientation; for example, awall mount with three antennaspointing up and three pointing down.Antennas and connectors arelabeled and color-coded for easyinstallation. |
