Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Connecting the 5-GHz External Antennas
Connecting the 5-GHz External Antennas
The access point supports an RM22A radio module for use with a single antenna or dual diversity
antennas. Two RPTNC antenna connectors are provided on the back of the module for the 5-GHz radio.
Note RPTNC antenna connectors are used for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. You must be careful to
ensure that you connect your 5 GHz antenna to the 5 GHz radio connectors (refer to Figure 2-3 for
connector locations).
If you are using the RM22A radio module, follow these steps below:
Step 1 Attach the Cisco Aironet 5-GHz antenna cable to the Right/Primary 5-GHz (RPTNC) antenna
connector on the back of the radio module and hand tighten. If you are using two antennas for diversity
coverage, attach the second antenna cable to the Left 5-GHz (RPTNC) antenna connector.
Note The Cisco Aironet antenna cables have a blue marker label near the antenna connector and the
radio module has a corresponding blue label near the 5-GHz antenna connectors.
Step 2 To mount your Cisco Aironet antenna, refer to the instructions that came with your antenna.
