CONNECTING THE STANDARD ANTENNAS
The Access Point 7250 is supplied with standard detachable antennas. These
should be attached before the access point is installed. If using an alternate
antenna, see
“Selecting and Connecting a Different Antenna Model” on
page 21.
1 Carefully unpack the standard detachable antennas.
2 Screw an antenna into each of the sockets in the access point housing.
3 Hand-tighten the antennas at the very base of the SMA connectors without
handling the antenna tips.
4 Position the antennas so they turn out and away from the access point at a
45-degree angle. After network startup, you may need to adjust the
antennas to fine-tune coverage in your area.
Depending on the coverage required for your site, you may want to replace
the standard detachable antennas with one of the external antennas available
for use with the access point. See
“Selecting and Connecting a Different
Antenna Model” on page 21.
Caution: Do not connect a telephone cable into the Console port; doing so can
cause serious damage to the access point.
!
CAUTION: Do not handle the antenna tips, especially after they are connected
to the access point, as this could lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD), which
could damage the
equipment.
