AP-8163 Antenna Connectors

AP-8163 two radio models (AP-8163-66S40-US and AP-8163-66S40-WR) are configured with six N type connectors to support two active WLAN data radios.

AP-8163 Antenna Connector 1

When mounting antennas to ports R1-A, R1-B, and R1-C, ensure you have selected the appropriate band for the configured radio that uses ports R1-A, R1-B, and R1-C. In this instance, R1 ports relate to the software configured radio 1 settings.

When mounting antennas to connectors marked R2-A, R2-B and R2-C, these antenna ports relate to the software settings of radio 2. Care must be taken to provide the correct antenna for the operating band of each port.

AP-8163 three radio models (AP-8163-66S40-US and AP-8163-66S40-WR) are configured with eight N type connectors to support two active WLAN data radios and a dedicated sensor radio as the third.

AP-8163 Antenna Connector 2

As with the two radio models, R1 ports relate to the software configured radio 1 settings. When mounting antennas to connectors marked R2-A, R2-B and R2-C, the antenna ports relate to the software configured radio 2 settings. Care must be taken to provide the correct antenna for the operating band of each port.

Ports R3-A and R3-B are reserved for the sensor radio. An appropriate multi band antenna should be mounted on the unit for sensor operation.

Note

The sensor radio does not function as a WLAN data radio.

Warning

Antenna ports where no antenna is mounted must be properly terminated using an approved IP67 terminator.

Warning

All antenna connectors should be covered with weatherproofing tape.
