Chapter 1 Overview
Features of the Access Point
Antenna Configurations
All versions of the 1570 series access points contain a 4x4:3 2.4 GHz radio and a 4x4:3 5 GHz radio
which are connected to physical antennas/antenna ports numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. These radios can be
configured for both dual-band (both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals coming from the same antenna ports)
and single band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals coming from different antennas / antenna ports). The 2.4
and 5 GHz radios connected to these antennas/antenna ports are user configurable as follows:
• The maximum number of active Tx/Rx antennas/antenna ports paths for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz
4x4 radios is restricted to the modes of operation set forth in Section 3.2.7.
• The allowable configurations for the 4x4:3 5 GHz radio are:
• The allowable configurations for the 4x4:3 2.4 GHz radio are:

Warning
In order to comply with radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, the antennas should be placed no less
than 50 cm (20”) from your body or nearby persons.
Statement 339
Warning
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care
not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For
proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for
example, U.S.: NFPA 70, National Electric Code, Article 180, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code,
Section 54).
