Back of the Access Point
Back Panel Covers
The access point’s ports and connectors on the back of the unit are protected
by two removable plastic covers. One covers the Console port, Clear and Reset
buttons, RJ-45 port, and DC power connector, while allowing twisted-pair and
power cables to pass through. The other cover protects the external antenna
connectors when they are not in use.
Antennas
The access point includes internal diversity antennas for wireless communi-
cations. A diversity antenna system uses two identical antennas to receive and
transmit signals, helping to avoid multipath fading effects. When receiving,
the access point checks both antennas and selects the one with the strongest
signal. When transmitting, it will continue to use the antenna previously
selected for receiving. The access point never transmits from both antennas
at the same time.
