5. Connect the Network Cable
Connect the network cable, described under “Cabling Infrastructure”
(page 2-4), from the network device or your patch panel to the RJ-45 port on
the access point.

Using the RJ-45 Connectors
To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45
port until the tab on the plug clicks
into place. When power is on for the
access point and for the connected
device, the 10/100Base-TX link LED
should light to confirm a powered-on
device (for example, a switch) is at
the other end of the cable.

6. Position the Antennas on the Access Point
The integrated antennas emit and receive signals along a toroidal plane—and
thus provide more effective coverage when positioned along different axes.
For example, you might position the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees from
each other.

For example, you might position the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees from

The access point compares the strength of an incoming signal on both
antennas, and uses the antenna receiving the stronger signal to communicate
with a wireless client. Note that both antennas are used to transmit, but never
at the same time.

The access point’s integrated antennas can also be replaced by various
external antenna options that offer extended radio range and specific radio
coverge patterns. For further information, see chapter 4, “Using an External
Antenna with the Access Point 420”.
