WS-AP3865e Overview
1-4 Introduction
Antennas
TheWS‐AP3865eincludesexternalantennasforwirelesscommunications.TheWS‐AP3865ecan
transmitfrommultipleantennasatthesametime,asdefinedwithMIMOoperation,butthe
antennasmustbeselectedmanuallybasedoncustomerrequirementsandcoveragearea.Foralist
ofexternalantennas,refertoAppendix B,WS‐

External Antenna Connectors
TheWS‐AP3865esupportssixexternalantennaconnectionsforboth2.4GHzand5GHzradios.
Theseantennasofferavarietyofoptionsforextendingtheradiorangeandshapingthecoverage
area.Foralistofexternalantennas,refertoAppendix B,WS‐AP3865eApprovedExternal

LAN Ports
TheWS‐AP3865ehastwo10/100/1000BaseTRJ4 5 LANports(seeFigure 1‐2onpage 1‐2)thatcan
beattacheddirectlytoa10/100/1 000BaseTLANsegment.ThissegmentmustconformtotheIEEE
802.3or802.3uspecifications.
TheWS‐AP3865eappearsasanEthernetnodeandperformsabridgingfunctionbymoving

packetsfromthewiredLANtoremoteworkstationsonthewirelessinfrastructure.
