Attaching Antennas

Install the external antennas intended for area coverage. For information about antenna selection and installation, refer to the ExtremeWireless External Antenna Site Preparation and Installation Guide.

Note

The total number of required antennas and associated port locations on the AP3965 depends on the coverage area and the type of antennas selected.

To attach external antennas to the AP3965:

1. Attach the external antenna cables to the Standard Polarity Type-N connectors on the AP3965. All the antennas can be extended away from the AP using the optional cables.
2. Place a terminator cap on any antenna connectors that will not be used (see Installing Terminator Caps).
3. Do not install the AP with the antennas pointing upward. If the AP is vertical, the recommended installation is with the glands pointing down. If the AP is horizontal, the recommended installation is with the glands located be closest to the ground. In both cases, we recommend that the antennas be extended horizontally.
