Radio Characteristics
The AP 200 is an IEEE 802.11a/b compliant device when configured with the appropriate radio
option.
As an IEEE 802.11a device it supports 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54Mbps data rates, utilizing
transmit-only diversity, in the 5.15GHz to 5.825GHz range.
As an IEEE 802.11b device it supports 1.0, 2.0, 5.5 and 11.0Mbps data rates, utilizing transmit
and receive diversity, in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM radio band.
Installation of Optional Accessory Hardware
The available radio/antenna options vary depending on the AP 200 configuration purchased.
Note: A tamper resistant #10 Torx driver is required to remove and install antenna modules
(internal/external). This tool is not included with the AP 200 or antenna/radio options, but, is
available in the open market.
Caution! This equipment contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. When handling radio/antenna options use proper electrostatic safety handling
procedures. Ensure all power and data cables are removed before installing any radio options.
802.11a Internal Antenna Option
Note: Removing and installing antenna option with the AP 200 upside down (ribbed side up) is
recommended.
1. Ensure the AP 200 is on a level work area such as a table and not mounted to any surface.
2. Remove the internal antenna and tamper resistant screws from the shipping container and
remove any packaging material.
3. The Internal 802.11a antenna contains two coaxial cables with reverse SMA connectors
that connect to the external antenna connectors on the main unit. The internal antenna
housing has a pin, that mates to a micro switch, on the main housing, near the external
antenna connectors. Properly seating the internal antenna so the pin makes good contact
is necessary, so the AP 200 can sense that an internal Antenna is in use.
4. Ensure the coaxial cables cross over each other before connecting to the external connec-
tors. This allows the internal antenna cables to tuck neatly inside the antenna housing
when secured to the AP 200.
5. Connect the internal antenna to the 802.11a AP 200 using the two coaxial reverse SMA
connector plugs.
Note: Ensure the 802.11a antenna cables are crossed over each other before connecting
to the AP 200 external antenna connectors and securing the antenna housing to the
AP 200.
6. Holding the internal antenna unit level to the AP 200 carefully mount the antenna onto the
AP 200 (ensure the antenna cables stay tucked into the housing) until it is flush with the
main housing.
7. Using the torx tool and screws (2) secure the antenna to the AP 200.
8. Verify the unit has power by observing the Amber LED.
802.11b External Antenna Radio Option
Caution! This equipment contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. When handling radio/antenna options use proper electrostatic safety handling
procedures. Ensure all power and data cables are removed before installing any radio options.
Note: Removing and installing antenna option with the AP 200 upside down (ribbed side up) is
recommended.
1. Ensure the AP 200 is not mounted to any surface and is on a level work area such as a
table.
2. Remove the 802.11b external antenna radio option and tamper resistant screws from the
shipping container and remove any packaging material.
3. Using the torx tool remove the access panel (if the internal antenna option is installed,
remove it) covering the 802.11b side of the AP 200. Discard the access panel.
4. Carefully hold and align the 802.11b external antenna radio option slide rails with the AP
200 card slot (if the AP 200 is upside down, place the antenna/radio PCI card face down as
it is aligned and inserted).
5. Insert into the AP 200 until it is flush with the main housing.
6. Using the Torx tool and screws, secure the external antenna radio option to the AP 200.
7. Verify the unit has power by observing the Amber LED.
Note: Refer to the WS 5000 Wireless Switch Online System Reference guide included with
the switch hardware for configuration of the AP 200.
802.11b Internal Antenna Radio Option
Caution! This equipment contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. When handling radio/antenna options use proper electrostatic safety handling
procedures. Ensure all power and data cables are removed before installing any radio options.
Note: Removing and installing antenna option with the AP 200 upside down (ribbed side up) is
recommended.
1. Ensure the AP 200 is not mounted to any surface and is on a level work area such as a
table.
2. Remove the 802.11b internal antenna radio option and tamper resistant screws from the
shipping container and remove any packaging material.
3. Using the torx tool to remove the access panel (if the external antenna/radio option is
installed, remove it) covering the 802.11b side of the AP 200.
4. Carefully hold and align the 802.11b internal antenna/radio option slide rails with the AP
200 card slot (if the AP 200 is upside down, place the antenna/radio PCI card face down as
it is aligned and inserted).
5. Insert into the AP 200 until it is flush with the main housing.
6. Using the Torx tool and screws, secure the external antenna radio option to the AP 200.
7. Verify the unit has power by observing the Amber LED.
Note: Refer to the WS 5000 Wireless Switch Online System Reference guide included with
the switch hardware for configuration of the AP 200.
