WS-AP3660 Overview
1-4 Introduction
Antennas
The WS-AP3660 includes external antennas for wireless communications. The WS-AP3660 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-AP3660 Approved External Antennas.
External Antenna Connectors
The WS-AP3660 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-AP3660 Approved External
Antennas.
Console Port
The WS-AP3660 includes a single console port (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-3). This port is used to
connect a console device to the WS-AP3660 through a serial cable. The console device can be a PC
or workstation running a VT-100 terminal adapter emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
LAN Port
The WS-AP3660 has one 10/100/1000BaseT RJ45 LAN port (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-3) that can be
attached directly to a 10/100/1000BaseT LAN segment. This segment must conform to the IEEE
802.3 or 802.3u specifications.
The WS-AP3660 appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by moving packets
from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
