5. Налаштувати орієнтацію: Once securely attached, you can adjust the angle of the dipole antenna for optimal signal coverage. For omnidirectional coverage, a vertical orientation is generally recommended.
6. Power On Access Point: After all antennas are securely installed, power on your access point.

Важливо: Ensure all connections are secure to maintain optimal performance and prevent signal loss.

4. Експлуатаційні міркування

The Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Dipole Antenna is a passive component that works in conjunction with your access point. Optimal performance depends on several factors:

• Розміщення: Position the access point and antenna in a central location within the desired coverage area, away from obstructions like metal objects, thick walls, or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Орієнтація: For general omnidirectional coverage, keep the antenna oriented vertically. Experiment with slight adjustments if specific areas require stronger signal.
• Перешкоди: Avoid placing the antenna near sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, or large electrical motors.

5. Технічне обслуговування

The Cisco Aironet Dual-Band Dipole Antenna requires minimal maintenance:

• Прибирання: Periodically wipe the antenna with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Огляд: Occasionally check the antenna connection to ensure it remains securely fastened to the access point.
• Умови навколишнього середовища: Ensure the antenna is used within its specified operating environment (temperature, humidity) to prevent damage.
